Dennis and I are both retired and that plays very well when needing to be flexible with schedules. We have been waiting since fall for Megan and Nicolas to come for a weekend visit. Megan at age 12 and Nicholas at age 7 are getting busy when they have a break from school. Their spring break was later than most schools, so our time is this weekend.
Wednesday, Dennis has his monthly Korean Veterans luncheon in Mankato, and it seems it will work out well for Carrie to meet us at our favorite meeting spot: Scheels.
Saturday we have a funeral in Gaylord. My aunt Dorothy, at the age of 95, has passed away and her funeral is at 2:00 p.m. It will work perfectly for the kid’s dad to meet up with us a bit earlier for lunch in Gaylord and hand off those precious grandkids.
Usually the kids have helped me put out garden art in the spring of the year. This year, the gardens are wet and we have not moved any of the collection of leaves. As well, the air is too cool to take a chance of working up a sweat and taking on a cold. That is another concern for those of us who are a bit older. A few hours of work in this kind of weather could mean weeks of sneezing and wheezing.
No doubt, Dennis and I have had our thinking caps on and I know a trip to the north country will take place either Thursday or Friday for a luncheon out and a bit of visiting.
