Today in the cold and wind, we needed to be in Mankato for several appointments. Not very many years ago . . . well maybe decades ago, there would not have been a trip anywhere from home when the temperatures were in the minus. In today’s world, our vehicles are more trustworthy. There were a few vehicles parked beside the highway that had not been made aware of that. Dennis and I were very happy to arrive safely home in the late afternoon, appointments met and a few additional errands run. Oh, how we love our little home on Stauffer Avenue.
