The Archer



Last night after we got back from Ikea, I stopped to watch Chase at his 4-H Archery Night.  What fun!!  When he lets go with that arrow, it just WHAPS!!! into the target.  They shoot 12 rounds of 5 arrows each - he got several in the little white circle while I was watching.  Way to go, Chase!!!

Dad and I went to LaCrosse on Wednesday for a picnic with some of our friends from Arizona.  We left about noon on Tuesday and stayed overnight in Lanesboro, MN - the Bed & Breakfast Capital of the world.  We stayed in a nice little motel with some lovely grounds.  The little shops downtown were all closed by the time we got there and they opened later in the morning so we weren't able to go visit them.  We went to a little restaurant in town and had meatloaf.  I (and Dad agrees) think that I make the BEST mealoaf around but this was pretty darn close.  We were so full we couldn't even fit ice cream in.

Our picnic was fun, other than it was so HOT that by the time I reached the hotel that night, I was sick.  There was a very occasional breeze which felt wonderful but other than that, it was 95 and high humidity and that was in the shade.

This was a bush at the hotel we stayed at.  Isn't it pretty?

I'm busy decluttering my compter room today and it's going quite well.  Now, just have to go through the boxes in the middle of the room but that may take a couple of weeks since they're full of pictures.  Anyone want to help?

We have a reprieve from the heat this week and it's GREAT!!!  Have a wonderful week ahead.

Love to all,
Gramma and MOM
