Dick was able to have a long deserved quiet day where he cleaned out the minivan, straighten things out, worked with a lot of photos that he hadn’t had a chance to look at, and just had time to catch his breath at the sweet little house in south Minneapolis where we would stay several days.
In the meantime, Patti and her friend Ann talked nonstop from as soon as they got up in the morning till when she dropped Patti off at 2:30 on her way to work. A delightful visit. They even had a chance to walk the small labyrinth at the church across from where she lives. Very lovely time.
Both Patti and Dick took an afternoon rest because the visiting schedule is intense although very fun.
We went and picked up Chinese food and headed over to dear friends Ruth and Phyllis, who Patti had known for 40 years since they were all in seminary together. The evening was spent sharing stories of the fun and the drama and trauma these last couple years have given to all of us. It was so nice to spend good quality talking and catching up time together. We were so pleased to receive a copy of Ruth’s book that she recently published about home. A great read! We miss them so much and we’re so glad to be able to spend this time together.
