A FEW SUMMER DAYS IN MINNESOTA



After many miles of driving, Jim, Erik, William
and I arrived in Minnesota. We first stopped
at my sister's home on Spider Lake.....
amid flowers and fairy houses.
Had a wonderful albeit brief visit.

Jim let me get a really cool camera as a gift.  I still have much to learn about photography but here is one of my experiements:
A photo of the lake where Jim spent his boyhood summer days...
Lake Minnetonka.
Beautiful place.






...and then I celebrated my 51st year of life.







     

 Some fun words from the Caribou Coffee Company:
"Life's to short for -
   Grudges
     Fake anything
  Putting profits before people
     Over-roasted coffee
  Waiting for change to happen
      Wifi you have to pay for
    Crabby people"
At 51 I am thankful for forgiveness, authenticity, good coffee, the chance to continue growing and changing....and best of all...wonderful family and friends who are not crabby!!!
