On October 2nd, Lani, Marge and Mom will be leaving for Minnesota.

This is the first family venture in over probably 40 years, oops that
is not true, we did have the move to Texas which I almost forgot. I
(Marge) wanted to see the land of my childhood for many reasons.

I still remember the cold winters and hot summers but I also remember the crispness of winter and the morning sun glistening on fresh snow.

I am looking forward to Octoberfest in New Ulm. I remember June Jordan saying that we should discover our own roots, and my family roots are in the soil of Minnesota and Germany. I have expectations for this trip—allow mom to see and remember where she spent much of her life and for Lani and myself to come together as sisters, something we haven’t done alot of. Anyway, we will keep you posted as we cross the country.
