Vacation

Hi all
Yes, vacations are appreciated even when you are retired.
A time to get away and spend time with your loved ones.

We got the BWB parked at Millie's cousin's place so it can have a little hibernation time.
And be waiting, much further south than home, when we are ready to get away from winter.

After getting all put away we headed north for a little vacation time in Brainerd, MN.
Home of the filming of the movie Fargo, go figure.
We traded for a week at a time share resort there, actually in Nisswa, MN on Gull Lake.
While we were planning putting the trailer away and looking forward to a mini vacation,
Millie was busy inviting her sisters and any of their families that were close by.
We had also been looking forward to spending time with friends from the Twin Cities,
who had got a week at another time share about 20 minuets north of ours.
First night Millie's sisters and spouses joined us and the next day we ended up with about 17 or 18 total of us amounting to about half of her close family, including sisters, nieces, nephews, great nieces and great nephews.

Niece and nephew, one each of many.


And on to the Great nieces and nephews.










This bunch sure has beautiful kids. Could be I'm a little prejudice, Naaw, they're just cute.

And guess what??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
We had a great time! Yes, it's true. I think the kids may have been more well behaved than the adults!
Was a really great time and I am so lucky to have married into such a wonderful, loving group of people.
Just another thing I thank Millie for giving me.

Winter is setting in and light snow and lakes beginning to freeze over.


And a view from our condo.

We had visitors almost every evening and many mornings. Of course deer gun started this weekend and I'm sure this one's family knows very well they are safe on the resort.

Yesterday we became empty nesters. Got together with our friends for some adult beverages and a wonderful meal at a local smokehouse. Realized it has been about 30 years we have known each other. Meeting at the resort they are staying at this week. So much has changed since then, kids have grown up and some married. Our friends have become Grandparents, twice, since then. We have all changed jobs, some of us many times. We've all moved into different homes and traveled to many exciting places. Doing all of this while not looking a day older than when we met. Well, not many days.

Thanks Bev and Bernie for allowing us to be part of your lives.

Now today we start packing up to be out of here and back to real life Saturday. It has been a wonderful week and so much fun.
So here's to you our readers!

Make your day great!
Tom and Millie
