My trip to Wisconsin and Minnesota has been just wonderful. Over the weekend I went to my 60th high school class reunion from Aquinas High School in La Crosse, WI. Stayed with a friend whom I've known since kindergarten - went thru elementary and high school together and then both of us eventually became library media specialists. We don't see each other that often but when we get together it's like we've never been apart. It was fun to see everyone from my class (218) but our numbers are dwindling and I was sad to see so many not in good health. But we had many laughs and shared so many memories.

When I left Rochester, I took a wrong exit from I-90 and had a drive through the scenic countryside of southeastern MN. After winding my way (no GPS on my car - also no phone service from ATT in that area) I finally found my way to Caledonia where my daughter-in-law lives - really was in no hurry and it was a beautiful day for driving. Today Maria and I are meeting my sister-in-law for lunch and probably will have another 3 hour lunch. Then it's back on the road tomorrow to Lincoln, NE.
Have a busy week coming up, but hope to get a few cards made - thanks for stopping by today. Betty
You have been busy indeed! Glad you're having such a nice visit betty!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing
how cool! glad you had fun even though you got turned around a bit. I love my gps!
ReplyDeleteGreat meeting you in person, Betty!! And a fellow Cheesehead, especially from my hometown, is always a long-lost friend. Add that to card-making and we're BFFs for sure! Sorry you got off track heading to Caledonia - rural MN can be a challenge without a map or GPS! Thanks for all the fabulous crafty items - can't wait to use them. Hope we can get together again soon!!
