On the Farm




We made it! We pulled into the family farm on Friday afternoon about 3:00pm. About a day ahead of schedule because of the weather across the country. A "white knuckle" trip for a lot of the way but we made it.











We parked the trailer at Don's barnside RV park and bistro. Enough travel for a while. The RV park has all the amenities including water, electricity and sewer hookups. Brother Don has done a super job of setting it up for us.



The weather is COLD! Spring in Minnesota is somewhat different than spring in Sacramento...... say about 40 degrees different.












On Saturday we took Dad for a airplane ride as a 90th birthday present. We saw the farm from the air as well as all the local sights. What a super time.










On Sunday we celebrated great niece Rachel's 5th birthday with all the family gathered for dinner and a party. A special evening included dinner, birthday cake and presents.


























This week is a week for celebration. Dad is 90 on Wednesday and loved ones are flying in from Seattle and Houston for the event. More reports at the end of the week. So..... for now ......send long underwear.... I'm freezing back here.
