7/21/2019 Caring Bridge

Journal entry by Al Negstad — a minute ago
Cross the river, take a left to the cul-de-sac, look for the blue heron under the house number, and, there find a delightful, two bedroom, Air B&B, nestled in the woods, for $104. per night.  What a beautiful end to a rather miserable drive from Chicago....construction, stop and go, and intermittent torrential rain on I-65. But here we are comfortably settled in our digs so what does the drive matter?
    The start of the day was delightful.  Leaving Milwaukee early enough to join Bonnie, at her church, Grace Lutheran, Evanston, IL., for outdoor morning worship we were blessed by an exceptionally inspiring service. Bonnie escorted us around Evanston including Northwestern University.  Bonnie and Lisa are friends from their days at Luther College and she's a dean at Roosevelt University, Chicago.
    We are in Dayton to visit Gerry, a friend since the 60's and Lisa's Godmother.  This Air B&B, is less than 10 minutes from Gerry's condo.  The location may be a stroke of luck but that would deny Lisa proper credit for finding it.  Now as the lightening flashes across the sky, thunder crackles and rain drums on the roof we're so thankful we arrived before the rain. 🙏   This little slice of Dayton missed the eleven tornadoes that wracked the city.

Takk for alt,

Al
