It was Dennis’ decision to go to Mankato today. With an additional downpour of rain during the night, it was escape time. I asked him what his agenda was . . . it apparently was time for pedicures. While in Korea, Dennis’ feet were always wet and more times than not they were wet and cold. Shoes never had a chance to dry out. Now, sixty plus years later the feet need TLC. Over the last 14 years we have gone off and on for pedicures and it feels wonderful. Nails Group in Mankato is now Nail Spa next to Busters on Madison Avenue. It is owned and operated by a Vietnam gal who knows her business. When we got back into the pickup the first thing Dennis commented on was how wonderful his feet felt. I could never massage my feet and legs the way this group can. Obviously with the knee replacements I can’t bend and rotate my knees for the best of nail trimming. Just let me tell you . . . I have spent $25.00 in times past with not near the good feeling of having my toes in good shape. The ole cowboy and I are in agreement on this.
We drove in rain coming come and the rain just quit here at five this afternoon. It is getting a bit annoying.
I have a large pieced flannel quilt top to get to Old Alley Quilt Shop later this week for long arming. Minnesota State Highway 4 south of Sherburn is under water and will be for some time. I will need to go south to hit Interstate 90 and then go west. The usual 26 miles trip will be a bit longer this time. In this area there are worse things than wet backyards. The farm fields that we saw today are not going to recover. The entire park and golf course at Madelia is under water with more water being funneled by Mother Nature. Time will tell what summer will hold.
