A bit of cooler weather and the furnace warmth feels good. After having coffee guests this forenoon, Dennis and I decided to take a road trip to Mankato. These small “road dates” are always enjoyed. Dennis had a few items to check into. As happy as we are to return to Stauffer Avenue after one afternoon away, this speaks volumes as to why we don’t do much in regard to far away travels. Life is very special here on Stauffer Avenue.
