Funny Story of the Day

Just a quick story. Today I am missing Minnesota. Chico is beautiful and I am adjusting fine, but it is disconcerting to be so far from my family and friends. There is lots to do here and I am taking advantage, but with 100 degrees this afternoon, I have just been doing some chores and puttering around. I was at Safeway shopping and applying for their discount card, and struck up a conversation with the clerk. She asked me where I was from and when I replied Minnesota, she began asking me about my move. I mentioned how different the weather and climate is and how much I appreciate being outside so much. The woman behind me in line then interjected into the conversation what she heard about Minnesota--that it was snowing in Minnesota as we spoke!! I was almost speechless at first, then told her that I was pretty sure it was in the 70s this week and that the leaves were spectacular. She seemed disappointed.....

Anyway, that is my story of the day. A Californian's image of Minnesota---snow, snow, snow! And about missing Minnesota...I am making my reservations today to be back the end of the month. Anyone have time to get together??

This is one of our shelves.....things I look at often. A small vase from Romania from Anna, a loon from Micki, and lots of pictures of family and friends!

Love to you all!
