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!!!
