Today Was a Road Trip Date
Gray skies and continued rain showers made for Dennis to plan the day to take a drive to Cabela’s mega-sports store in Owatonna. I accepted his invitation to ride along. We had not traveled east of Mankato in some time and were surprised that Minnesota State Highway #14 is now a four lane all the way to Owatonna. It may very well be complete beyond that point towards Rochester but that will be for another excursion. It is always interesting to see the changes in the landscape on these road trips.
Dennis looked and touched and came away with a new awareness of how several of his guns have appreciated in value. That was a very self satisfying feeling. As we drove home westward towards Mankato we again had the windshield wipers on. Our date concluded with a bite to eat in Mankato. We sat over several additional cups of coffee and deemed the day a great road trip date. In case you are rolling your eyes right about now, yes – you are right – it does not take much to satisfy and bring contentment to Dennis and me. Priceless!
