Friday night – One more party for Gabe

The plan is for Gabe and me to head to Minneapolis to see my mom and my sister Mary and fam on our way to Germany Next Tuesday. There’s one big catch. Gabes passport with his new Vissa haven’t arrived. He paid an extra $40 for the Consulate to ‘overnight’ it to him.. but they used USPS Expedited service which is supposed to take 1-3 days.. .. and that’s when its working. I think the germans must have confused our postal sevice for theirs. We were expecting the Passport and visa on Wednesday. It didn’t gcome, then we were sure it would be here on Thursday.. nope. So we were really sure it was coming today..

but it didn’t..

that means that if it doesn’t come in the mail tomorrow we have. Big problem .. we spent the day trying to figure out a contingency plan. At worst, Gabe will head to Minneapolis.. then I’ll follow as soon as we get the passport.

But for now.. we coan still have a good time.. tehre are some folks gabe still wants to see.

so today we.. (as aways) took a great rivershore hike.. for another romp in the snow. Check out the snow on just one side of the trees
