In Minnesota

Hello,

Leroy is taking a continuing ed. class and I am visiting, kissing, hugging, giggling with, and chasing Sophia around. Sometimes I even talk to Brian and Jen just to let them know that I think they are ok too.

Our trip up was beautiful and uneventful except for the 15 dead deer deteriorating along side the road. We felt a little less comfortable driving 70 mph as the sun got lower in the sky. What could it be like to hit a deer at that speed? Perhaps it would be a bit jarring.

Brian is home today so we made ravioli and froze it for Thanksgiving when the rest of the family will be here. On the day we decide to have it we just need to make the sauce and boil the squares. The pieces are not really square, but oblong and whatever we could manage. All home made and not machine cut.

It is a beautiful warm day again today even in the north country. Brian has a portable burn pit so we had a fire last night in the yard. It was quite nice.

On Saturday morning Leroy and I went to the state park and the fire in the morning is not so nice with the sun lightening the sky as the fire that glows in the dark.

Leroy’s class is learning about the new generation and how to appeal to them. Do you think he can jump the generation gap or is it two or three gaps by now?
