Sunday we attended Mass and then Robert napped in the afternoon and I walked to the Civic Center to a Big Home Show. It was fun to just have some "Roxie" time and be by myself and walk and meditate. The home show raffled off 4 playhouses.They were so cute. One was the Little Rascal's playhouse, A witch's house, a school house and a Victorian house. Some lucky child was happy when they won.Made Robert his favorite supper of fried chicken and all the trimmings. He was happy! Invited Todd Biel, another guy staying here at the Lodge.Monday Robert had early appt @ 8:00. Had a voice mail on our phone and was so surprised! Tracy Rickford was up in this area crop adjusting and stopped by to see us and take us out to lunch. Was so good to see someone from home! We gave him the tour of the Mayo Clinic and the Hope Lodge. He got to walk in the tunnels and see our daily routine! Lots of walking! Thanks Tracy for taking the time to see us. We really appreciated it.I came back to the Lodge and took a nap. The shingles are still hanging around and get into the party mood about the time I want to sleep. I had a rough night last night so tonight I might have to drug myself with pain meds to knock me out!Tomorrow after appts we are going to a Bald Eagle Sancuary about 40 miles from here with Todd, our friend. He had taken his family there last week and wants us to see it. It is the town where "Grumpy Old Men" was filmed. Should be a fun day trip. Then tomorrow night is pot luck supper and singers for entertainment. Wed night they will have a Magic show. Always something to keep you busy if you feel like doing it. The suppers are always delicious and they always have a drawing for another quilt! Maybe we will be lucky sometime. I made pumpkin rolls and Darren's favorite mac salad and we have left over corned beef so we are all set. Have a great week. Love, Roxie

We had a good day! Had radiation appt and then Todd, Robert, I and a Kathy, a new friend, went to Wabasha, Mn to the Bald Eagle Sancuary. Very nice. We ate at "Slippery's", it is where they filmed "Grumpy Old Men." I invited Kathy to go with us so I didn't have to go alone with two Grumpy Old Men! ha! The food was very good. Yes, I had FISH!
The drive up there was beautiful and we took a different route back. Todd took us over the bridge so we could say we went to Wisconsin. It is just across the river. Saw some men out ice fishing. What a great experience!
Tonight was Pot luck supper and then a group of Mennonites came to sing. Beautiful Harmony! I wanted to call someone on my phone to let them hear them. Very sweet girls. Two of them volunteer here at the Lodge a couple days a week.
Thanks to the Biermann family and to Shaina, our goddaughter, for the surprise packages. We were the envy of the Lodge. Everyone thought it was just like Christmas. Lots of nice cards also. Everyday Robert looks forward to the mail.
We are very tired tonight so tomorrow we will probably nap.
Anxious to get home and see all the changes. Wind towers might be up and running, I hear Butch's Spirit's is open and that they tore down the old church on the corner. Thanks everyone for filling us in on the news. We miss the Leoti Standard!
It's been a long day so will sign off.
Please keep my neice and her husband in your prayers. Tom and Pam McCarty from Salt Lake. Tom's Mother died last night.
Love to all, Roxie
