What a gorgeous day! You absolutely could not have asked for better weather. There have been a few high clouds, but mostly sunny. The temperature during the day has been about 75 and will go into the sixties during the night. Looks like another fantastic sleeping night. We will need the rest, because we will be relocating the tractors to the Racine fairgrounds Thursday. This is to get as many of the Bissen family antique and classic tractors to the tractor show as possible, so even we city kids will be pressed into action. Ought to be fun.
We arrived at the Bissen farm in Adams, MN around 1:30 today and met Dale and Sandy Bissen along with their son Kim and Elly’s father Fred. We got a tour of the farm buildings and a look at a lot of the tractors, and then got the motorhome situated behind the equipment garage.
It is the best parking spot we have had. No power or water, but what a view! We look out over their vineyard and the farmland beyond. The farms in this area are immaculate. There is lawn between the rows of vines that are better kept than my lawn at home!
Tonight we are off to pick up Elly and her sister Mary at the Rochester airport. As luck would have it there is a Trader Joe’s in Rochester! We will certainly stop there first. Fellow Lockheed Martin alum, Allison Summerford, now lives in Rochester while her husband finishes medical training at the Mayo Clinic. We will have dinner with them and then head for the airport.
Tomorrow we will be up early and on the road to Racine. Hope this weather holds.
