So Cal!

About three weeks ago I was North of the Border.  This past weekend I was on the Left Coast, visiting my dad's cousins with my mother.



My cousin Doug lives by a large man-made lake.  Each morning around 5:30 a.m.  I would get up and walk around the lake and have a a workout in front of it. This is a view of the sunrise as I went on one of those walks.


A school as part of that walk.


Cousin Doug is a University of Southern California season ticket holder.  I took part of his tailgate.  I find it interesting that he uses it as a ministry.  He invites folks to his tent and after offering food, just provides Christian encouragement.  It's interesting to think how the Almighty can be shown through us.


Here's the view from our seats at the game



I just want to remind you this trip was not about me.  My mother came with me.


A photo of me with my dad's cousins. The older gentleman in the middle came with my dad on the USS Americana 70 years ago!


Alas,  I did have to come back to Minnesota.

So that's it for my travels this year.  Perhaps next year I'll find somewhere else that interests me.  Usually that's what happens.
