Minnesota Trip

I am in Bloomington MN visiting my mother right now. I took Amtrak Sunday evening with 2 other Holdenites, Jim Raisanen and Tom Braken who were on their way home after Work Week. It was nice to have friends on the train to chat and eat with. The scenery through Glacier was beautiful with thousands of golden Tamaraks covering the mountains. Both Montana and North Dakota are past their autumn colors and looked bleak. We said our goodbyes as we went to sleep because they were both getting off at 4am. I awoke this morning surrounded by strangers and ready to get off and begin my visit. I was so glad to find that the Twin Cities still have plenty of color to enjoy.
