Thank you to everyone who has expressed their concern and prayed for Tucker’s surgery and recovery. Dr. Dahl was pleased with the results of surgery and today was a tolerable day for our son.

Will you still love me tomorrow…
My lawn needs mowing again. It will get mowed today or tomorrow or in a day or two, but it will get mowed and then my lawn will be fine – for about a week or so. Then it needs to be mowed again. My lawn is not different from your lawn or from most anyone else.
Goodbye for now…
I find it tough to say goodbye, especially to loved ones. I took my second oldest son to the airport this morning. As a guy, I was all focused in on the task at hand.

Take me out to the ballgame!
Hunter, Carter, and I enjoyed going to the Metrodome Saturday night to see the Twins take on the Angels. We had a great night even though the home team stunk!

It was also a wonderful season with a team of boys that played hard, did their best, and were a lot of fun to work with.

How this sound for a fun-packed Sunday?
We are heading over to Cleary Lake Park for a bike ride, some time in the Character Sketches book, a matinee version of Ice Age 3 and then an ice cream treat!
A Wonderful Get-away to a Wonderful Place
Earlier this week, Carrie and I were able to get away for a few days to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We chose an interesting Bed and Breakfast in an equally interesting small town in southeastern Minnesota. The B & B is the Historic Scanlon House and the town is Lanesboro. We stayed in a beautiful and spacious suite known as the Steeple Suite complete with whirlpool tub, full bathroom, queen size bed, multiple sitting chairs, a comfortable love seat sofa, and a modest TV with VCR and DVD player.
