HAPPY DAY

HURRAY, THE TRAILER IS HOOKED TO THE TRUCK AND SITTING IN THE STREET. I HAVE TO PUT THE FOOD AND MY CLOTHES IN TOMORROW AND HOPEFULLY OFF WE WILL GO INTO THE SUNSET!! OH, YEAH, JERRY HAS TO PUT THE WATER IN TOO.
WE HOPE TO GO TO THE SOURCE OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND STAY FOR A COUPLE DAYS. THERE IS A BEAUTIFUL LODGE THERE WITH A GREAT DINING ROOM--WE LOVE TO EAT THERE. THEY MAKE A WILD RICE HOT DISH/CASSEROLE THAT IS SOO GOOD. IT HAS BEEN SO COOL HERE THAT WE ARE HOPING THE CAMP GROUND WON'T BE FULL AND WE CAN GET A PLACE.
I HAVE A GOOD BOOK TO READ, SO I THINK WE WILL HAVE A NICE RESTFUL FEW DAYS---AND WILL BE SO GLAD NOT TO HAVE TO GO TO PT---
WAS DOWN BY THE RIVER YESTERDAY AND SAW 4 FAMILIES OF CANADIAN GEESE. MOM AND DAD AND BABIES. THE FATHER WALKS AROUND WITH HEAD HELD HIGH AND LOOKING AROUND WHILE THE MOM AND BABIES ARE BUSY EATING. ONE FAMILY HAD ABOUT 10 BABES. WAS REALLY NEAT TO SIT AND WATCH THEM.
NOW I BETTER GET TO BED SO I CAN BOUND OUT OF BED IN THE EARLY AM.HAHA---MY BOUNDING DAYS ARE LONG GONE, I AM AFRAID !

Brrrrrrrrrr

Minnesota is unusually cold this year. so much so that i would just as soon go back to Texas.
We have not been able to take the trailer out so far. Jerry says we are this next week---no matter the weather, we are going to Itasca State park, where the Mississippi River starts.. we can stay in the camper and play cards and eat at the lodge if nothing else. we both have been having doctor appointments, physical therapy for me---to get my strength back they say----don't know how strong i need to be. we are more or less free til July 2nd when Jerry has a Mayo Clinic appointment for his ears. we will stay with our daughter and her family---we haven't seen them since November--so that will be nice---oh, oh, we did see them for couple hours when they came for Jerry's birthday--but I was in the hospital then.
we have been going out for breakfast almost daily and then going for a ride, playing at least one game of dominoes every afternoon too. life goes on, our sons drop in frequently and so do some of the grandsons. the cookies and pop disappear very rapidly.
