It's 3:30 central time and I'm sure by now everyone is over stuffed and scratching their bellies. It's 30 degree's and sunny here. Originally we weren't going to do much since Shyla, Josh, Raleigh and Corey were missing but unexpectedly Corey showed up Friday night so it was decided. A Sunday dinner was planned. Then I found out Saturday morning Corey would be leaving Sunday morning so I put together Sundays dinner Saturday. I have to say it was great except for those that were missing. Dave, Barb and the boys came over after spending the day looking on all the local rinks for hockey pucks lost during the winter in the snowbank which are shrinking rapidly. And your wondering where the pictures are of everyone...not a shot was taken..I know... Anyway we had a great visit as usual, lots of stories told. Stories of work from all, travels from Corey, hunting past and hunting future of course. Lots of fishing tales and dreams. I always talk about the meal being the main focus of getting everyone together and I know that's part of it but it's more than that. Something the TV can't replace. I am very thankful for having the family I have. Health and Happiness to all. Here's to summer and lots of beach time with my grandsons!!!

Fun Week with Family!!
After spending a weekend with Josh, Shyla and Raleigh Dave and I came back to a busy week of work, then a wonderful visit from my Dad. He and Jan are planning to move back to Minnesota to our delight!! Shyla, Josh and Raleigh came for the weekend also so we had fun remembering the olden days!! Do you know what happens when you get a bunch of men together?? Lots of big buck, big fish stories and boy was it flying at our house!! I will share with you a few pictures that were taken with Corey's camera because for some reason the xD card for my camera won't read in my computer. I hope it's temporary.
These are a few pictures taken by Corey when he visited Shyla, Josh and Raleigh the weekend before Dad came to visit.
We are all very excited about Dad and Jan moving closer, especially the boys. Lots of plans in the works for ice fishing!!

An afternoon with the other Wilsons
Finally a day off....up early anyway. After some cleaning and laundry Dave and I went over to visit with Barb, Dave and the boys. I think DJ and Tyler have grown a whole foot since I've seen them last! They are all such handsome boys. DJ celebrated cleaning his first 2 Crappies!!
Since I've been home
Besides working since coming home, I have spent some time with the grandsons and have some pictures to share. Dave and I spent the last weekend in Fargo with Shyla , Josh and Raleigh.
Hello to everyone!!
I made it home finally!!! And it seems I hit the ground running. Des Moines was great!! Very nice people, great food. If I wasn't so happy with living in Minnesota I would move to Des Moines. I guess the mid west nice applies to more than Minnesota. My flight home was awful. My 9:20 flight was delayed three times before it was canceled at 11pm at night. 26 people with no place to go. 4 were quite elderly and confused. About 8 of us decided to stick together and after much negotiating got rebooked for Duluth, a hotel for the night and 2 meal vouchers. We met for breakfast, shuttled to the airport and flew into Duluth where we waited another 90 minutes for our luggage. From there we were transported by Taxi (2 1992 Dodge Caravans) to Hibbing. It was -30 when we pulled into Hibbing airport at 3:30 Sunday afternoon. I had to work the next 5 days. It was a long week to say the least. 3 people had quit since I had left. My apologies for not blogging sooner.
