I'll have to explain the title. Carrie and I took an overnight trip to Minneapolis this past Thursday and Friday. Our first destination was the Mall of America. Carrie had never been there before and especially wanted to visit the American Girl store. It was great "girly" fun to view all the dolls and their accessories! From there, we did a bit of browsing, especially enjoying the kid stores, including the Build-A-Bear store and the Lego store. (Guess I am a true Grandma!) We didn't see all of the mall by far, but really had fun (a very surprising thing for me--I'm not much of a fan of mall shopping). Amazingly, the freeway traffic wasn't even too bad going from there to visit and stay overnight with our friends, Dick, Kristi, Mia & Shayla. The girls are as cute as ever and had a great time dressing and playing with their American Girl dolls with Carrie.
We had a wonderful time of sharing about things of the Lord with our friends.
Friday morning we left Minneapolis in the rain, even drove through some snow, and were thankful all of it quit before we were 50 miles out of the city. In Hutchinson I truly exercised my "gift of shopping" when we spent 2-3 hrs. in the Joann's Fabric store! Christmas is coming and there are 5 grandkiddies to prepare for!!
We arrived home a bit after 6:00 p.m. and Justin was burning branches from the big old boxelder we had had sawed down a couple of weeks before. Carrie and I grabbed rakes, added leaves to the pile and helped him finish the project. It was good exercise after hours of sitting in the car.
After making the trip, we wondered why we had waited so long to drive to Mpls.
What an easy trip--4 hrs. at 60 mph. We won't wait so long before doing it again.
What we did see all the way on our trip was thousands of acres of unharvested corn and beans. We are praying according to the Scripture where God promises seedtime and harvest as long as the earth remains. God is faithful--the harvest must be brought in!!
