Celebrating Daughter, Molly's, Ministry

Daughter, Tess, and husband of 9 months, Derrick. Cute couple, eh?

Proud Grandmother, Martha (back L-R) and friend, Kay. Auntie Mary (front L-R) and friend, Susan. All are anticipating Molly's first sermon at First Lutheran's Leif Erickson service, overlooking Lake Superior.

Coming Full Circle

We thoroughly enjoy the sounds, sights and scents of the waterfront from our RV campsite near our former home on Duluth's Park Point, the place we left nearly a year ago as we began our great adventure. It's wonderful to catch up with family and friends, but have no regrets about our new lifestyle of exploration.

A Little Bit of Country

While waiting in Sioux Falls, SD at the local Cummins service facility for what we hope is the final electrical fix needed, we had the chance to visit nephew, Kenny, and a few of his beloved horses. We also got to meet Kenny and wife, Joan's, new and first Grandson, Hudson. Unfortunately, we didn't get a picture of Hudson, just the horses...guess it's a "guy thing".














Then on to Elmore, MN, (on the Iowa border about 140 miles East of Sioux Falls) and the dealership where we bought our motorhome just one week short of a year ago. Here we hope to get the small but stubborn leak from above our windshield fixed once and for all. This will be the fifth attempt by one repair facility or another. Below, Steve studies the Iowa cornfield that surrounds the dealership.
