We had another beautiful morning for walking. The temps were even a little cooler than yesterday--almost felt like fall in the air. When we returned to the house, we didn't waste any time eating breakfast and getting cleaned up. We had to leave no later than 8:30 p.m. in order to make it to Grand Forks, ND in time to attend the funeral of our son-in-law's mother. Following the service, we went to Culver's for lunch and then shopped for several gifts that we needed. Susie called to tell us she and Mike were finished at the church and we made plans to meet them at Mike's old home. We got to spend several hours visiting with Susie, Mike, and his family. Since the kids are heading back to California tomorrow afternoon, it was a real special blessing to be able to spend some time with them.

As we headed back across the river into Minnesota, John decided to stop at Cabela's and look for a trolling motor for his little fishing boat. He found just what he wanted and was able to use his Cabela's rewards points to buy it. It's rather nice when you can spend the same money twice. By now it was way past supper time, so we stopped across the street at the Blue Moose for a quick meal before heading home. By the time we reached our house, we had been gone for over 12 hours. It was a long day and we're ready to head to bed real soon.
