Sosie's here from California for an extended series of visits with Mom this coming week. Due in at 5:15 this morning, she arrived five hours late, which meant that her hosts got their full night of sleep and also proving that Sun Country is a lot like Minnesota weather, you never know what you can count on to happen next.
Mom was delighted to see her and promised to get lots of sleep so she can be part of a busy week of plans. One highlight will be a visit Wednesday from Murrae and Helen Freng, Mom's music friends from Alexandria, now retired in Plymouth.Mr. Freng left a position as the Alexandria choral director in 1965 to become the head of the Minnesota State High School League. We used to enjoy watching him hand out trophies at the televised State High School basketball championships.
Stan had volunteered to pick up the Frengs to bring them from Plymouth to Mom's place. Not necessary. Mr. Freng, 88, will drive.
"Can you find the place alright?" Stan asked helpfully during a recent phone call.
"Yes, I think so, shouldn't be a problem," he said. "I see it is just off Normandale. I am looking at my Google Map here."
