To Ely, MN

Friday morning, George drove me to the airport for my 8:20 am flight.  The flight was uneventful.  Jeanne met me at baggage claim.  Minneapolis is a huge airport.  Seemed to take forever to get from the plane to baggage claim.  I had eaten my lunch on the plane so Jeanne grabbed a sandwich at a gas station.  Exciting meal!! Then we headed off to Ely.  There was some road construction, which backed things up.  It added about an hour to the drive.  I must honestly say that I did not notice, we filled the time with chatter.  We always seem to have plenty to talk about.


We stopped at Tobies to pick up a few cinnamon rolls (to take home ;-) ... not for a snack).  They sure look yummy. 

We let Jay know that we were on our way and could give him a better estimate of our ETA.

We got to Ely about 7:15 pm.  Jay got dinner on the table.  Ahh. 

After dinner, Jeanne and I finished putting a puzzle together.  She wanted to get it completed before Laura and family arrive later tonight.
