If all these things are true, then I don’t know what to think about myself. I just returned from a five day trip to Minneapolis/Saint Paul for ”Spring Break.” It was odd though seeing the natives running around in shorts and Tshirts because it had warmed up to 45 degrees. All kidding aside, it truly is beautiful country with extremely kind and gracious people. I look forward to going back soon.

I had to Google “Mill’s Fleet Farm”! I guess I’m definitely not from Minnesota! ;-)

Had a good friend from there, he always said Minnesota slowly with well defined syllables like – ‘min-uh-SO-duh’.

I’ve got a brother in Fargo. I try to go visit in summer when it’s still cool 70’s which I understand is considered warm there. In Texas we wear our jackets when it’s in the low 70’s. The winters in that part of the country is just to much for this warm weather bird.

I grew up in Ames Iowa and all of Minnisota’s cold weather always dipped down our way. Iowa gets just as cold as Minnisota, but just as hot as Texas.
