Sorry for not reply recently!

Our internet service has been down since Tuesday, as well as the electricity and phone service on and off.

Just a rural Minnesotan thing!



Mid morning is 10’ish does that help?



Please RSVP as I need to order the food???



For those looking forward to lutefisk lunch, I have dug up/found some lutefisk frozen TV dinners!!

The date code says they are only 18 years old, but that is okay as they never go bad!

At least you can not tell by the smell?

They are not being kept at our home because it draws all of the cats for miles around.

You will have to make a special request for the TV dinners.

I than will give you directions too where the secret storage is located.



Direction: Find Belgrade, MN 56312, it is on Hwy 55 and US Hwy 71. Go south out of Belgrade on US Hwy 71 for about 4 ½ miles, look for cty road 34 which goes west/right, stay on cty road 34 for about 4 miles until you get to a STOP sign on cty road 34 and 5.Go diagonally across cty road 5 on to a dirt road (270th Ave), follow the dirt road for about 1 ½ miles over the hills, through the woods, and around a lake, we are on top of the hill, the right side/north between the road and lake with pine trees along the road in front of our home. Our address is 5840-270th Ave NW, Brooten, MN 56316. Our home phone number is 320-346-2899. Cell phones do not work well out here if at all.

George,

Thank you for attending the Minnesota Mini #2 and doing your LOR seminar.

It was received well be all that sat in on it. I did learn a few new tricks as well for LOR.

I did find my 2 LOR Tips & Trick files and if you want I can email them over to you. I will need your email address.

On the PC site Ernie has posted a few pictures and I hope a few others will post more pictures. I did not take any pictures this year as everybody kept me to busy doing other things.
