Good morning from Collegeville,

The APHC show at the Minnesota State Fair was wonderful.  The package that we received from Ticketmaster included a VIP parking pass that put us just feet from the Grandstand, plus food vouchers for inside the Grandstand Plaza.  I have a sweater that was left there by a Diane Yeager from Sauk Rapids.  If you know her, have her give me a call.

The Top Ten List of Things That I am Thankful For:

1.                   No cell phone companies are going to give out our cell phone numbers to telemarketers.

2.                   There are at least 20 Turkey Vultures cleaning up things around the St. John’s campus.

3.                   I will have five grandchildren by next April.

4.                   I have the best job in the world.

5.                   My health is good

6.                   My son is my financial planner

7.                   My daughter is making Visual Arts Minnesota a success.

8.                   I have five siblings and no one is mad at anyone.

9.                   I get the traveling golf trophy from the annual Hagstrom/Osberg golf tournament.

10.               I have someone to share a cup of coffee with every morning who loves me.

 The show this week is live from the Champlain Valley Exposition in Essex Junction, Vermont.  Special guests include Suzy Bogguss and the usual cast of characters.
