Trip to MN

Hello,

Leroy and I had an uneventful trip up north. We were fortunate that it was cool when we got there. Brian and Jen were learning to live without air conditioning.

Repair people were coming on Tuesday so I stayed home Monday with Sophia while Brian went to work. Sophia and I had a good time together swinging, pulling weeds, walking the dog, eating, and napping. Even though it got up to 90 it was not too hot in the house. Now the next day when the workmen were there was hotter since the doors were open or ajar much of the day. Unfortunately they needed to return for a second day. At the end of the second day it still was not able to run automatically requiring a return trip.

Leroy enjoyed his class on the pastor as coach. He was even excited about reading the accompanying books. An added bonus was that he got to ride the bike forty-five minutes to the seminary, helping him to get in condition for the bike ride across Iowa that he will participate in on the last full week in July.

Coming out of the library, Brian said, “That looks like Dad.”

Seeing a gray bearded man on a recumbent, I said, “Yes that does look like him.”

“That is Dad,” Brian exclaimed as he pointed at a guy on a bike farther down the street, “What is he doing here?”

“Dad,” Brian yelled. When there was no response he called, “Leroy.”

Leroy was trying to find his back street route home from the seminary. The street, Cleveland goes onto the interstate. Leroy promptly got off of there and tried another street that turned into a dead end. Brian was able to get him pointed in the right direction as well as take his bag to lighten the load.
