Here in the Twin Cities It was 70 degrees the day we came back from Iowa City on the monday after Easter. I think it has hit 70 or 80 just once since!!
But the dramatic evidence of the cool temps is that our flowers seem to have a longer life because they haven’ had to wilt under the sun. My wifes tulips lasted twice as long, and our lilacs have maintained their beauty for a long time also.
My oldest Rob (27) is engaged to be married this coming Jan 06 to a girl from his high school that he actually met in Germany on a field trip. When they got back, they started seeing each other more, and now they are going to be gettig married in Jamaica… She went to school to help Autistic Children and their families. ( they are planning to bring us along to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary, also!) This will be the first time I have been off of the continental USA.
My youngest son Andrew (22) graduated from Northwestern Bible College in Roseville Minnesota with a degree in communications (Journalism) He finished in 3-1/2 years because he was able to get some post secondary education in high school out of the way before college. My oldest son also went to school for Journalism in the TV-Radio Broadcasting business and is a FoxSportsNorth TV sports camera man.
Mothers Day was my 13th anniversary of my kidney transplant. Unforunately, It looks like I may need to get back on the kidney transplant list sometime soon, as my kidney is beginning to fail again. The doctor says I qualify right now for the transplant list at this time, but I need to start getting a work up on my general health to make sure I am still a viable candidate I probably will be on dialysis sometime in the near future if I don’t get my numbers turned around.
There is no Business Like Shoe Business…. I still own a shoe repair business in the Midway area of St. Paul Minnesota.
