Mankato, Part 2

The Monday tour went off well. I had 15 women to escort, and they seemed to really enjoy the tour of Good Counsel. The day was super warm -- almost 90 degrees!

On Wednesday we celebrated our anniversary with another trip to Amboy to the Amboy Cottage Cafe and Lisa treated us to a warm carmel roll. My sister treated us to breakfast and we opened our anniversary cards that had been received. That afternoon we started packing the trailer for our trip to Worthington, MN. About 2:15 it started raining and the thunder was LOUD! It rained continuously from afternoon into this afternoon. Heard that Amboy got 12 inches of rain; many other towns had 4-10 inches of rain, and many roads were closed.

The Sojourner Community at Good Counsel treated us to a fantastic anniversary dinner Wednesday evening. We certainly have been made to feel at home at Good Counsel!

Now we're in Worthington, MN (90+ miles southwest of Mankato) to visit Jack's brother Melvin and his wife Betty. We're at Olson's campground and the wind is roaring at 15-18 miles per hour. Many of the campsites are under water, but our site is wet, but not flooded. Will post again in a few days.
