Tuesday with Sun
This has been a busy day, actually my second busy day. I wouldn’t trade either of them for anything.
Yesterday was huge for me. A funny thing happened to me on the way to a car repair. I have driven through Hanska more times than I can remember. Yesterday I decided to pull into the Main Street and even managed to pull off parallel parking . . . right in front of Johnson’s Furniture Store. The stars were aligned. A bit later, when I went on towards New Ulm, I had purchased two matching occasional chairs and would soon see the end of the 25-year-old chair and a half pull-out sleeper.
Kersten picked me up at Chuck Speath’s and we motored on to McDonald’s for a well-deserved visit. It was just sweet. Next time we will need to meet up in Sleepy Eye.
It was a long day, but all plans had been achieved. I stopped at Hy-Vee for a few items as Tuesday was going to see family coming from Hutchinson.
By the time six p.m. arrived, the sleeper chair was out of our home going on to be of use in our carpenter’s young family’s home. Bryan did an excellent job on our front deck and having moved into their own home recently, I gave him the option after a look-see. The thought of an extra bed for a guest filled the bill. Dennis and I felt good about helping out.
By eleven this morning, Tuesday, sister-in-law JoAnn, her daughter Laura and Laura’s William and Heighlie were here at Stauffer Avenue. What a great visit. Now, at four, the house seems very quiet.
Dennis did get the blue barn acre mowed with plenty of time to have coffee, lunch and a visit as well. Dennis mentioned the bright sun felt warmer than the 78 degrees of actual air temp. With no rain, it is a matter of keeping the weeds cut as the grass is dormant.
Two very busy days for this Grammie, but so much appreciated. The cherry red chair and I have some catching up to do.
