The Event ~ Minnesota - October 2018

Between Jon's football games in October, Tim and I took a road trip to Minnesota.  We first went to Jon's football game in Norfolk, NE.  Jon had an awesome season playing football as a junior and we look forward to his senior year games.  We spent the nite in Norfolk, and then journeyed North.  Our first stop was at Dianne and Jerry Olson's home in Clark, SD.  Dianne was one of the Magnificent 7 girls from our college days.  From there we did a laid back road trip through the Red River Valley along the Minnesota/North Dakota border.  Such black fertile soil.  We stopped at the headwaters of the Mississippi River near Bemiji, Minnesota. 

On the way back south through the middle part of the state, we again stayed off the interstate and just enjoyed the journey, heading south to Ida Grove, Iowa where we spent a day with Tom and Betty Stewart,  Betty was also one of us Magnificent 7 from college days.

We got back to Omaha to enjoy the next football game that Jon played.
