Wine Tasting with Judy and Beth___________ Judy and I still smiling after a week________ Coffee with Dad

I just spent a week in Oakes, North Dakota reconnecting and visiting family. If someone had told me that I could spend 7 days in a town of 1,700 without running out of things to do I would have said no way! Yet, I did and had a good time. I actually ran out of time for the things we found to see and do...

Most days consisted of the cousins spending the day together exploring the family history through out the country side in a minivan. Actually it consisted of Judy telling Doug where to go and sharing a story about the family. It was great to know my Dads side of the family - got some great stories too.

In addition, we had the side trips to the corn maze / pumpkin patch, wine tasting and catching up over coffee. I also reconnected with my father after 16 years and hope to keep in touch in the future.

Thanks to All of you who made "And A Good Time Was Had By All" come true!
