When we left the house to take our walk this morning the temperature was 42 degrees. It's hard to believe that at the beginning of the week it was so hot and humid you didn't want to be out of the AC. That's how September weather is in northern Minnesota. It is suppose to dip down to 39 degrees tonight.

After breakfast, we took another road trip to Grand Forks to pick up my laptop. While we were there we made a stop at the mall for a new pair of jeans and a coffee maker, and then went to Sam's Club to get some chips and bread that were on sale. We also stuck to our normal routine and had lunch at Burger King as well as stopping at McDonald's for their hot fundge sundaes.

Matt called as we were just leaving Grand Forks and wanted to know if we could come and stay with Sam and the girls while he and Sara went to Bemidji to pick up a few things Sam will need for school on Tuesday (at least he is going to give it a try). Sam still spends his day laying down with his arm elevated with ice packs to help with the swelling. The puffinesss in his fingers is getting better. John and I got to their house in time to have supper and then Matt and Sara left. Hanna and I walked around outside trying to find something interesting to photograph--there's not too much right now--will have to wait a week or two for the fall colors to start. Sam and John passed the time watching a couple of football games.

Matt and Sara weren't gone too long, so John and I were back home around 8:30. We spent the rest of the evening watching some college football. I, for one, am very glad the football season had started.
