Hawaii and Hibbing

When I was young my Grandfather and Grandmother Erickson went on a trip to Hawaii. I think that it had something to do with his seed corn sales that he did after retiring from 3M.

I vaguely remember Grandma complaining that it rained every day that they were on the islands. Grandpa's response was, "but it was over by 10 AM and the rest of the day was beautiful!"

Just a little flaky

This morning, day 5 of being in Hibbing, Minnesota, I took a picture of the snowflakes on my coat sleeve. It snowed at least a few flakes every day that we were in Hibbing.  It reminded me of Grandpa Glen Erickson.

Instead of focusing on the daily snow, I'm going to point out how beautiful these big fluffy flakes are as they fall onto my coat.
