It was raining when I got into town yesterday, but it still feel like to home to me when I see the Ely,MN water tower. I admit to really loving this place that Cody chose for his schooling. Since Cody had invited a bunch of his friends over for a wrap up to the year cook out, I didn’t get to far from of the house yesterday. It was fun to see the kids as they dropped by , and meet some more of his friends and a few of their parents.
Today I will get out of the house, although most of the day will be spent getting the house ready for the summer, I am going to get a few walks in. The sun is out, and I think I need a good breakfast.
I walked up to Vertine’s, my favorite place in town for breakfast. Than back to house to clean and get it shut down for summer. Cody and I took two loads to the college dumpster, washed four loads of laundry, and now the house is ready to go. We walk over the baseball field tonight and paid a lady whose son is going to be mowing the lawn this summer. Cody also introduced me to his new football coach, we stopped the mail, it’s time to hit the road.
As a side note to this trip, I am reading a book by Jessamine West called “Double Discovery”, about a trip she made to Ireland and England in the 1920’s. [First let me tell you that if you have never read a book by Ms West your missing out]. Anyhow she traveled to the town of Ely England where she fell in love a Cathedral. I traveled to Ely,MN where there are the same number of churches in town as there are bars and liquor store, seven of each. Not bad for a town of just over 3,000.
Anyhow tomorrow we begin to head east.
