It began with my retirement in 2007. Our Iowa friends had made frequent trips to Minneapolis to visit us especially for special occasions. After I retired I said now it's our turn to travel to Iowa. Joanne and I did beginning in 2007 and continuing through 2017. In 2018 and 2019 I made the trip alone. COVID intervened in 2020 but now I've again completed the trip. As always I encountered amazing hospitality.
What is even more amazing and a total gift is that they continue to welcome me! Go figure. Perhaps...no I won't go there. Suffice it to say that the trip; the hospitality, the conversation, the welcome restored my soul. Thank you Ed, MaryJane, Ken, Barbara and Jenine.
A friend who challenges me to consult my driver's license to remember my age, remonstrated with me about being surprised I was tired after driving 500 miles. 😀 She's correct of course, I should just be grateful that I can do it.
Takk for alt,
Al
