Refreshing Reprieve




Up

the

steps,







through

the

parking

lot,





into

the

car,







onto

the

highway,





through

the

tunnel



and

we were on
our way home.



Dan mused, "I'd forgotten how much Lake Superior is like the ocean - and it's just a two...three...four hour drive."

Living in the center of North America far from any coast, Dan often dreams of an ocean-side retirement home with waves crashing against the shores and the serenity of the blue vastness outstretched before him. That time is far away. Minnesota's North Shore is closer.

I saw him pocket two brochures:

one for deep-sea fishing

and another
for schooner sailing.

Maybe we'll be back for another Refreshing Reprieve.


Takk for turen. (Giving thanks by sharing this trip.)


With great gratitude to Paka and Grammy for keeping our boys and Moose overnight - so we could celebrate Dan's 40 years five months late and our 17th wedding anniversary a month early.

AND (just now) TO MY 10,000th visitor (like Minnesota's lakes) to ALONG LIFE'S ROAD!
