monday.

 

i took today off work so i could visit one of my oldest friends in southern minnesota.  we met each other in fourth grade when i lived in georgia and she lived in wisconsin through being pen pals!  it is so neat to think that we both ended up in minnesota and now only live a couple hours apart.  we still aren't able to see each other that often since she is a busy teacher during the year and momma all year round to two adorable girls, so i'm glad i decided just to take a day off during the week and go down and visit her! of course the day i chose ended up being the hottest day of the summer so far for us {mid-90s that felt like 115!}, but i kept cool in the car on the way down and enjoyed the scenery--the drive down to southern minnesota from the metro is beautiful!  we had fun catching up and it was fun to meet her new little one who is four months old and to see her other daughter again, who is two.  

whenever i drive down to this part of minnesota, i always stop in the same place, lake pepin, to admire the water and boats.  it was simply too hot for that today though so i just snapped a few pictures and hoped that they came out!
