June 22, 2008

Hi Everyone,

We left our relatives in Cold Spring, MN and are spending five days in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. Now, most people know that Minnesota is the land of 10,000 lakes. But, did you realize that there is more grass to cut in this state than nearly any other place? It's all quite beautiful -- yet we feel sorry for all the hard work the folks here have to put in to keep their lawns looking so spectacular. Even though most people have a riding lawn mower, it still takes a lot of time to cut so much grass. Then there are the mosquitos that come with the territory. We are very lucky right now because the mosquitos disappear when there is a breeze. And there is a nice breeze at present. On Wednesday, we head back to Fargo for a big family reunion.
