Always a welcome sight to see the swans on the lake. They doubled their number from 4 on Saturday to 8 on Sunday.
Could hear them Saturday evening when we returned from Moorhead. Hoping they stay around for Josh and Jen next weekend.

One chick home...

 Jordan made his first trip home from college. It was over 2 months since we dropped him off!!! He and his friends made it home to celebrate ZHS homecoming football game together. Was a sweet night...warm weather, kids and parents and a victory to boot. He got to hangout with most of his buddies, squeezed in a movie with gals and then had a "sleep"over here. Ugggg, did not sleep much. Winnie was not used to the noise downstairs so barked at every noise,real or imagined! We went to dinner with boys and parents. Nice to have something in common and to get to chat about it. We have been so blessed with the people we have gotten to know through our children. This little town is filled with so many memories.
    Mike and I have decided we have adjusted fairly well to our empty nest. We love to spend time together. And we kind of appreciate the quiet. Not that we do not love to have them here, just their plans start so late. I guess we are getting old. Took two walks today. The weather was just too wonderful to stay inside. Doggies got to go on the morning walk but not later. We went to see if we could spot the otter that lives in the Woodlands pond...nope...bummer. Maybe tomorrow...
    Well had my warm cinnamon/vanilla/ honey milk to help me sleep so need to actually lay my head on a pillow for it to work. Good night!
