Seeing the headwaters of the Mississippi was way up there on my wish list! Been there, done that, got the photos! Next, believe it or not, was going to the beautiful little town called Northfield, Minnesota where the Hallmark Christmas movie "Love Always Santa" was filmed… The way I tracked the town down was they were filming the street and there was a VFW post sign! They’re all listed by post # and town they are in. Found it is right below Minneapolis right off I35 that we planned to take to get to Clear Lake. A big part of the film was shot in a cafe called The Bun Also Rises. The female star loved Ernest Hemingway and her cafe had a nook full of Hemingway quotes and (I can’t remember the place) One of the places in his novels she wanted to go……. We ate lunch of beautiful sandwiches there, sitting in the window seat to eat. Just a little bit of fun. Next on my wish list are Mass, both Sunday and daily, at the little church in Clear Lake AND watching the eclipse from the middle of Clear Lake! We arrived at the condo on Clear Lake but Tim and Kyla were off playing so we went to town for a beer at the VFW. Greeted Tim and Kyla at home about 4 and quickly renewed a friendship begun in the No Name Pub in Big Pine Key. They have stayed with us in the Keys and Lake house in Miami and we have stayed with them here at Clear Lake. Today is bright and clear. We did not get rain last night and all is well. God bless you.
