Mom's blog April 29

Hi from Minnesota,

Yes, I'm back in Minnesota, home where it's awfully good to be. I arrived back Tuesday afternoon just in time to have dinner with Greg & Bonnie--Greg fixed wall eye for me-- and then I went to my first grief management seminar at the hospital. It was a little difficult going home for the first time but Annie was at the house to greet me and spend a few hours with me.

Bonnie took Wednesday off from work to help me unpack and get settled. Buying groceries was next on the list and then we went to the cemetery.

Annie called me Thursday morning to see what I was doing--just trying to find my way around I guess. She invited me to go to a Twins ball game so I realized that the work could wait. I had all summer to do what had to be done. It was a good game and the Twins won the game in the bottom of the 11th inning. We stayed to the very end, too.


Friday I finally found my way around the farm and visited with Jeff's parents. They had done some remodeling so it was fun to see.

Saturday. Sue came out and mowed my lawn--it looks great now. In the afternoon, Bethanie came and introduced me to her boyfriend, Barry. I absolutely approve of him. They both like the outdoors and it's great to see her so happy.

It is now 7:30 Sunday evening and the family has all been here for our usual Sunday evening dinner together.
It is a wonderful tradition and I'm so happy that they all like to come. There were 12 of us, Greg, Bonnie, Jeff, Annie, Sue, Julie, Heather, Josh, Whitney, Bethanie, Barry and myself. They've all gone home now and it's too quiet. I look forward to next Sunday evening when we'll do it all over again.

It's good to be home!

Love, LaVerne
