A long drive
Labor Day weekend, a time for family and celebration.
In between numerous bouts of long drives, celebrating with family was definitely the theme for our weekend.
Our main event for the weekend was joining family in Duluth to celebrate the life of Uncle Bob. As new parents, we often hear that a measure of one's success in life is not through any possessions or careers, but rather through the character and values that develop in one's children. Envisioning the tasks and tools required to achieve such a success with our own offspring can be a terribly intimidating vision. How Uncle Bob and Aunt Pat were able to pull it off with their own six children and have the success sustained through to another generation of countless grandchildren, is amazing to extremes of impossibility. There is not one of Uncle Bob's decedents that fails to be a model of a respectful, creative, and intelligent citizen. There was no question on Saturday that Bob will be missed; most notably by our beloved Aunt Pat, who has our additional sympathies for her recent surgery.
On either side of our time in Duluth, was our visit to Three Lakes WI with family and friends of the family. Though our visit was somewhat abbreviated, we always welcome the opportunity to enjoy the company, the serenity, the setting, the lake, and a few breaths of fresh air (not to mention Heather's ride on the legendary Garwood).
