Farmhouse on Lake Chippewa, Brandon, MN

Sosie and Stan arrived this afternoon at the sweetest little farmhouse in Douglas County. We've rented it for the country school reunion weekend, and it has obviously been a labor of love, inside and out. There's no television or internet. We have a radio. It's easy to find some wifi as you drive through Brandon and that's how we're posting this. There's a path down to the lake with a paddleboat we can use.
Just talked to Reunion Organizer Anne Marie Hiebel Tatum. We're going to meet with the Forada Spper Club folks at noon tomorrow. We're getting a chicken buffet with all the fixin's for $10.
Anne remembers Mom.All is well. Mom is doing fine. Spent the late afternoon watching the squirrels steal bird seed from the feeders planted around the property at the Clearwater Suites. Some mighty crafty animals. When we went to get a camera, they disappeared.
Took a stroll around Mom's place and found a nice shady spot for a chat.
