It was a long winter here in Minnesota and a cool spring is upon us. Every morning I check out the local paper to see what the weeks temps will be and we are to be in the 50-60 range. If the wind would not be so strong it would probably seem warmer. It is now trying to rain and make my weary bones ache too. I have allergies and Del is coming down with a head cold. So it goes!
Mothers Day this past Sunday and the Pankeys were our hosts for the occasion. All of the Bloch family were present with the exception of Cindy, Bob, Krista and Brandon. Cindy had to work and not sure about the other three. Our family is getting so large and harder to get everyone together so when we do we know we are blessed. Bob and Krista are buying a house in Hastings. Grandpa will go with them on a walk-through tomorrow and I believe they close on Saturday. They are excited. They have a townhome in Hastings now but with two golden retrievers they need more space as well as a yard to let them run.
Must tell you about our mini vacation a couple weeks ago. We left here in the motorhome on thursday morning. Stopped in Glenwood to see Dels cousin Marge. On to Graceville to see Aunt Joyce in the nursing home. Arrived at Bob and Ruths in Claire City around 7 pm. Thursday night. We called them about 15 miles out so they were surprised but happy to see us. Had a great visit and it was fun to see the Ebels and Gauklers also. Friday morning we went with Bob to the local cafe for breakfast and it wasn't long and the big snow flakes started coming down. Bob said "oh just a few flakes, it will pass us!" Well guess what? We had 15-18 inches of wet snow in the next 24 hours. We went to Nan and Kevins for dinner on Saturday night and got stuck with Bobs car infront of the motorhome coming home. Oh my! Sunday morning when it was time to pack up and leave for Fergus Falls, the big slideout stripped gears and would not go in. Kevin used his skidloader to lift and close the slideout. Needless to say we could not use it the rest of the trip. When we arrived in Fergus there was no where to park other then in the street in front of the Hutchins. All in all it was a good trip. We enjoyed our time with Lynn and Rog. Dels Mom is doing well in her new home. (VA Nursing Home) Her room is so much more roomier than the one she had at the Broen. She adjusts well for a soon to be 92 year old. Her birthday is tomorrow. Happy Birthday Mom!
Neighborhood bible study is winding down. Only one more session left. Beth Moore series at Hosanna is also coming to an end. Have so enjoyed the Psalms. Sounds like we will be having grandchildren a couple days a week to help out. That will be fun.
Until next time!
