Today’s adventure took us north to Itasca State Park, home of the headwaters of the Mississippi.
The water was down right cold!
We also visited Bemidji, MN. Does anyone remember a song with the lyric “Bemidji in the snow”? It has been bugging me all day. Bemidji is the home of Paul Bunyan and Babe the blue ox. They were busy with other tourists so we didn’t get to visit.
We did stop at the Bemidji Woolen Mill, where Bob got a great fleece lined wool vest. I got post cards.
Bob and I need to make an effort to lose the extra pounds we’ve put on since we left, but decided this restaurant’s menu may be too drastic.
Still hoping the parts shipped today, we are supposed to get shipping confirmation when it goes. We will keep you posted.
Love to all! Cora
Hmm, wonder if they wrote “eat every bean and peace on your plate” too?
Darned autocorrect “every bean and pea”
Whenever I hear that, I think of the first time I remember Pop saying it. We were having a fancy dinner at the Lazy Susan and I was mortified that he would say such a thing in such a fancy place. Now it makes me giggle!
Happy Birthday Dad.
Hope Thor gave you good news for your present.
