Last week we traveled back to Minnesota again. Jim had church board meetings to attend, and I was able to come along to visit family and friends. I was looking forward to seeing the beautiful colors of fall, but unfortunately, we were about one week too late! Due to strong winds the week before, most of the leaves were gone and the trees were bare. We did see a few trees that were still enrobed in the golden colors of fall. So beautiful!
We stayed the first night of our trip with Jim's sister Margarethe. The next morning, we had brunch together, in celebration of her coming birthday. A very Happy Birthday to a most wonderful sister-in-law!!!
It was great to have the great cooking of Perkins Restaurant once again!
Following our meal, we went to visit our niece Julie and see her new home. Little D was so excited to show us his room and all his toys.
Such concentration!
Mother and daughter
Even though the time was short, we were so happy that we could visit with Julie in her new home.
The forecast for that day was "rain showers." And this was the sky that greeted us as we said our farewell to Margarethe.
Soon we were driving through rain, as we headed north.
We were happy that the rains had ended by the time we stopped by one of our favorite MidWest stores- Mills Fleet Farm!
That evening, we stayed with our son Jared and his wife Heidi. It was fun to visit them in their cozy little home. Since Jared has a birthday coming up next week, we decided to start the celebration a bit early.
We were so happy that we could have this early birthday celebration for our youngest son. We are so proud of him and the accomplishments that he has made the past year. Have a wonderful 29th year of life, Bud!
