A Busy Week

It's been a whole week since our return to Minnesota.  Unfortunately, the weather hasn't improved!!  Urghhh!  Last night there were even snow flakes seen coming down!!  MeThinks we came back too soon.

Easter was a sunny day thankfully!  We spent a great afternoon at Ty and Jen's home where we got to see Grandma Joyce and Grandpa Cliff from Duluth along with Jeff, Jamie, and Shay who came from Nashville.  We all had a great time and appreciate Ty and Jen's gracious hosting of this event.  They hold a great Easter Egg hunt for the kids also! 

Here are a couple of the mud pie makers at home on their front porch:
This was cleaned up before their parents got home.

Here is an afternoon look across their backyard.  Deer and other animals frequently walk through here in the early evening:


Monday morning Bob took sweets to his former co-workers.  There have been a few changes there in the past few months, but not enough to entice him back into the working life.  Later in the day Bob and Brett went to our former house to help resolve one last "loose end".  It is now the buyer's place (not ours) and we hope this trip is the last.  On Wednesday, we had a local Freightliner dealer inspect and service the motorhome.  We don't want any breakdowns on our trip to Alaska later this year.

We kept the motorhome parked on the street in front of Brett's house for a number of nights, but moved it yesterday to an official campground, where we could level it up and put the slides out.  Now it seems like our house again.

Our daughter-in-law, Jen, has been on a trip to Scotland with her sister for the past week. We spent some time with Brett and the granddaughters during her trip and last night she returned - very late! The girls were sure excited to have her come home! Sounds like she had a great trip!

In spite of the weather, we're enjoying our visit in Minnesota.  We are going to a buffet tomorrow night with Denny and Diane which is being held by Carrie's culinary class - always terrific food!  We also have a lot more visiting with friends and family yet to come.
