Regis and Teresa's Big Adventure

In true Regis/Teresa fashion, we started our vacation season slowly as we don't like to travel too far or be gone very long when we leave home. An extreme vacation for us is a trip to Iowa or western Minnesota. This trip was less than a half mile round trip.

We packed some crab cakes and mango salsa, a cheese plate, and a bottle of wine. We drove down the street two blocks to drop Gus off at Reggie's house for the night. Then we drove two blocks west and spent the night at the Americinn here in St. Peter. We watched some television, hung out in the lobby, and were home by 8 o'clock this morning. We had a fine time.




My favorite snow drift!


Beautiful!


Today, we continued our vacation by taking a tour of the countryside to see the big snow drifts. We stopped for coffee, found a few closed roads, saw many skiers and snow mobiles, and wandered back home in time to go to Alex's birthday party, then a reading at the Arts Center.



Tomorrow, I'm going with my friend Deb to see the show Hair at Gustavus. It's been a culture-filled weekend!


More tomorrow...

Regis and I went to the place for dinner where when you used to go there the bait shop had a better bathroom than the restaurant. Not true anymore. The bathroom is lovely and the beer is cold. Those are not in order of importance. I went swimming today and the water was a gorgeous temperature. I didn't want to get out but I was alone and it got a tiny bit boring. I tried treading water and watching television through the window but that didn't work so well. There was a monkey and that's all I know. I can count quickly five people I know well who have lost their jobs or who are fearful of losing their jobs. Scary times. Regis says the atmosphere at his work is awful...people think that on Friday they will come for them. We're going to see Dean McGraw at the Bothy tomorrow night. This is one of the best shows in town for fifteen bucks. You can have some popcorn, sit in the front row, visit with the Doctor Daniels , and hear some fine music. Sometimes Dean has us sing an...
