I'm afraid I trusted the Martin news pipeline to let everyone know! YES, we were in MN, and were SO disappointed not to see EVERYONE! It was a whirlwind trip. We left November 2 at 5:00 a.m., and got to Pillsbury at 10:45. Jim and I traveled with 5 girls, and guess what - we made only THREE stops that day. The girls were terrific.

We were at Pillsbury to attend a choral festival with Mac and Beth Lynch and 250 high schoolers. It was a great time, so profitable for the girls and for us. Stephen and Jessica DeNeui participated too. Jim left campus only to fill the van with gas - we never even got to the DeNeui's, which was maybe fortunate in order to avoid poor David's plague.

We spent Saturday on the farm, and went to my parents' church Sunday a.m. Thought the city girls should experience the prairie.

MN in November is beautiful! We want to come back every year in November, and of course August, plus May is pretty special. If only we could make the horrendous trip every month! It would be do-able if we could get rid of Ohio (apologies to the Jays), Indiana, and Illinois (specifically Chicago), and Wisconsin naturally.

Next year, if we do the festival again, you are all invited.
