This was the second of three trips to Minnesota in 8 months. We stayed again with my cousin Craig and his family. My sister got to go this time too so it was lots of fun!
On another note, the main reason for this trip was that my grandfather of 97 years passed away, so I went in the blistering cold snowy November weather. I will remember most his finger tricks (because he actually cut it off in the garage and threw it on the kitchen table for my grandma to believe him), our games of UNO (where I would cheat and stack my hand), our walks to the post office with Sally Sitsee and my imaginary dog, combing (what hair he had) over his bald spot and feeling his soft face after he shaved in the morning. What a great, generous and Godly man he was. I will miss him, but will see him again in heaven.
