I spent Friday with my mother-in-law shopping in Rice Lake. We had lunch with my kids, their girls, my mom, and Mike Magana, who is home on leave from the Marines. He spent a large amount of time with my family while in high school. It was so good to see him before he goes to Afghanistan for a second tour. Mighty proud of that boy! It was a long day, running after an 81 year old who can go faster than me! Tomorrow we leave for Bloomington, MN to attend my dads retirement dinner from AMPI. Should be fun, my brothers will be there and my sister can't make it because she has all those 2nd graders to teach! On the downside of things, my lovely husband gave me his cold! My nose is so raw from blowing it!
