The sinking foundation of our best cabin is now crumbling, so we have our summer work cut out for us, pronto. Our son will be a paramedic by the end of May. I think he will be the only paramedic in the world with a studio art major from Gustavus. Our daughter is still attending the U of M while being a nanny in Woodbury. I ve been sewing up a storm, making quilt tops for our church-quilting group.
Life isn t always fair.
The news of the world is often horrific. It is wonderful to have safe havens from the worst of it. Connecting with good friends soothes the soul. The atmosphere of Gustavus is comforting. Let s remember our past, keep our friendships growing, and continue to support that comfort zone in which lots of good people grow.
