Today has been a blissful day of rest and relaxation with our friends Linda and Les. We've spent this Fourth of July eating wonderful food, sitting on the deck watching the wind blow across Lake Shetek, walking the dirt roads surrounded by corn and soybean fields. It's been quiet, with the exception of great conversations and evening fireworks, untaxing, except that we have done some walking, blissful. A day to recharge, learn about the area, spend time with good friends. Welcome to Minnesota.
