My pictures are out of order. The bottom picture should be first and the first should be last. We had a very eventful weekend. It started on Friday afternoon when we drove to Decorah, Iowa. Friends, Dick and Kris McKlveen, Luther College graduates invited us to an annual concert at Luther entitled Christmas at Luther. Of course a week ago the weatherman was forecasting good weather. But as luck would have it, Decorah was in a winter weather watch. From Independence, Iowa to Decorach we drove 40 mph. We did make it in plenty of time and experienced the most fabulous concert I have ever seen. There aren't words that can express how beautiful and wonderful it was. A very special way to start off the Christmas season. I wish we could make it an annual event, however, tickets are only given to Luther students and alumni. Check the Iowa Public Television schedule. They are going to broadcast the 2008 concert twice during December. We stayed at Dick and Kris' condo and the next morning there was about 9 inches of snow on the ground. It was actually very beautiful. Saturday after touring a few places in Decorah we took off for Minneapolis. The weather and most importantly the roads were good. Saturday night we went to a special Christmas production of the Church Basement Ladies Away in the Basement. This is the third Church Basement Ladies play we have seen and have heard they are making a fourth. Will be looking forward to that. Sunday morning we started home after eating breakfast with Jim's niece and nephew, John and Wendy Kobe. There was one more stop before we got home. Mill's Fleet and Farm in Owatona, MN. I LOVE THAT STORE!!!! I won't mention how much money I spent there, wish there was one in the Des Moines area but this gives me another reason to visit MN.
