Last evening, just over two weeks after my surgery, I accompanied Ally and Ben to a minor league baseball game. (Farmer husband Gary met us there a little while later). Every year or so our wonderful financial guy has a "client appreciation day" celebrated at the baseball park. Hot dogs, barbequed chicken and pork, cole slaw, chocolate chip cookies, and soda pop were on the menu. The kids stuffed their tummies full. The day also included a ride on the new gigantic ferris wheel. Each "car" holds up to six people. And the site over the Mississippi river is spectacular.

| We went up on the huge ferris wheel at the park. "Ah, I don't think this was a good idea..." Ben nervously laughs as the ferris wheel went higher and higher and his eyes got bigger and bigger. |

| Guess who we found at the park? Our good friend Katy and her wonderful daughter Linda. Ally snuggled right into Katy while the ferris wheel went round and round. I think Katy was appreciative of the comfort. |
