Birchdale, MN 8/22 - 8/24/08





The weekend has been a time for family and food. Friday we had a good visit with Bill's brother Tom, where, in addition to catching up on family and the life of the newly retired (Tom did so in April), we compared travel notes. Tom and Barb had been to Greece and were just back from California with Nathan's family.

Friday afternoon we hit only our second rain of the trip as we came to Birchdale, to the farm home of Judy's parents Phyllis and Albert Henrickson, who are looking well and maintaining a beautiful lawn. We ate fresh raspberries at every opportunity and even went out to the garden to pick them off the bushes. We also had a chance to catch up with Dave and Jan, Bill's brother and Judy's sister who also look well and are keeping a huge garden and beautiful lawn. All visits involved much good food.


The Adventures of Super Grandpa:

Grandpa went fishing on the Lake of the Woods and brought back the largest walleyed pike ever caught in Minnesota. Grandma was so proud that she had the fish stuffed and mounted and named it Willie the Walleye in Grandpa's honor.
