Maura Found This Gem in Minnesota

from Minnesota granddaughter Maura (17) wrote

“Gull Lake, Minnesota, right outside the town Nisswa. I was on a walk after dinner with Greta. Her family of 100+ people stay at a local resort and spend the week at the lake!”

I love her photo so much. What a great writing prompt! And that she saw it and thought of me!

A Rainbow Along Richmond Highway

Alexandria, Virginia. Last Tuesday night.

I even found the name of the church (Groveton Baptist) thanks to knowing I’d pulled into the Target parking lot just a few blocks from our Airbnb. Found it on Apple Maps.
