There are reasons that this ole team on Stauffer takes a day off once in awhile.

Today we traveled to Mankato for great grand Lux’s fourth birthday. It was totally a Frozen Princess event. Lots of little ones in the mix to help celebrate.

Dennis and I were just about to have a cup of coffee, sit back and watch all the commotion when Dennis got a phone call.

Fast forward it is 5:30 and there is a huge diesel pickup and trailer in our driveway. I have my alarm set for 6:00 a.m. for Dennis. Grandson Ryan went north to Silver Bay for deer hunting. How could he not want to go and see his parents and sister’s family and still get deer hunting in. The way Dennis explained it the spring on the lifter . . . or was it lifters . . . broke on his pickup. Ryan works for his uncle Brett the “crete” man. Uncle Brett would have gone and brought Ryan home, but he is deer hunting in the northwest part of the state. Grandpa Dennis to the rescue. Ryan always has time to help out his grandpa when he is needed. Turn around is a good thing to help out.

As I said, we rest up for a reason on Stauffer Avenue.
