The winds finally died down and we had a pretty nice day with sunshine and temps in the low 40's. There has been many a year when the high temps during the first week of November only reach into the 20's. John and I were commenting that we have had a warm and enjoyable fall which certainly made up for the long, cold spring.

We decided that we wanted an additional cooler to be able to take more frozen foods down to Texas, so a trip to Bemidji was now on our day's agenda. A list was made of some additional errands that needed to done and we hit the road. Our first stop was Target where we found just the size cooler we wanted. Next was a stop at the bank and then on to downtown to pick up some glass for picture frames. It was almost noon by then, so a stop at BK was next. As we walked through the doors, we saw some dear old friends that we hadn't seen for a long time--we ended up eating lunch and visiting with them for a bit before heading back home.

The remainder of the day was pretty uneventful--just did some work on finances and the computer and then watched The Biggest Loser this evening.
