Another BEginning

So we took the day on Sunday to move Megan into her temporary home at college for one last time. She'll finish up her requirements for a degree in English (writing emphasis) and a minor in Theatre, Communications & Public Relations. Soooo with a little bit of luck, proper preparation, and a lot of prayer she'll be able to move to the "Big City" to begin the pursuit of her dream in entertainment. It will be a long road but, then again, with a little bit of luck, proper preparation, and a lot of prayer, she'll be successful at whatever she chooses to do. Good luck Megan!
We're proud of you!

Beautiful!

So today was such a beautiful day that we decided to go to Lanesboro and ride bikes on the Root River Trail. It was such a good time but I don't think I'll be hopping back on any ol' bike for awhile. 20 miles of pedaling and the wind blowing through your hair can create a pretty Sore You Know What (A--!) Ahhhh... the life. Megan decided that she didn't want to stay home and be bored so she came with us. She was a real trooper. We picked up a bucket of chicken to eat on our way home and called it a fantastic way to end another beautiful summer day! Oh...did I ever tell ya?....I LOVE SUMMER!!!!

Crow's Feet...

"Look at everything as though you are seeing it for the first time,
with the eyes of a child, fresh with wonder."
~Joseph Cornell

It is not the passage of time that ages us nearly so much as it is
the erosion of childlike eagerness. As essayist Samuel Ullman
pointed out over 80 years ago, "Years may wrinkle the skin, but to
give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."

Beginning today, make a daily committment to return to the ideals
of your youth, where adventure was more important than ease and
each day was met with eagerness instead of dread. If anyone asks
why the sudden lightheartedness, tell them its your new wrinkle
treatment. Your using it to get rid of all those little crow's
feet that tend to show up around the soul.

The 3 Men arrive in Norway

And 3 makes 5! Rick, Randy, & Jamey arrived in Norway safely to join their father Gale (grandfather to Jamey) & Uncle Bob who have been over there for a week. They should feel right at home with all that extra Norwegion Blood pumping through the country. Hope the country survives them!

A good Day was had by All!

This was last Saturday! It was spent with the girls out on Lake Zumbro. Deb, Shirley, and Kathy are all previous co-workers from the K-M School District. It's been awhile since we've gotten together but we always have a great time when we do! Thanks for inviting us Deb! It couldn't have been a more perfect way to spend such a warm day. And the ending fireworks spectacular was the icing on the cake! I loooove Summer!
