From Dyersville we traveled into MN and our first stop was a visit with our friend Helen who worked with Jack at CenTel and again with him at Nortel. We enjoyed dinner at the Channel Inn, a bar/grill right on the beach of one of Fairmont's 5 lakes. Had a great visit and then moved on west to Jack's family in Worthington, MN. We camped at the Olson Park Campground and were "treated" to a windstorm that night. The trailer was definitely being shaken, and I was thinking of jumping in the car and going to his brother's house to sleep in their basement. However, it subsided after about an hour. Whew! The next evening we were coming back from dinner and visit and here a huge cottonwood tree had come down about 9:15 Saturday night. People sitting at a picnic table had to run to avoid it, and it tore the awning off a trailer parked at the next site as it came down.
On Monday, 20th, we came to the Good Counsel Motherhouse to visit my sister, Sr. Dominic. We have had a great visit, and we enjoy seeing the sisters who live there. We are also enjoying visiting old friends, as we lived in Mankato for several years, as well as Fairmont and Belle Plaine.
For football fans, the Minnesota Vikings are coming to Mankto today to start their training camp at Mankato State University. The town will be buzzing with fans hoping to get autographs and selfies with their favorite stars.
My next blog will be on the road to Canada. Stay tuned!
