A day in the life

Going down memory lane with someone you love is a really special journey. Twice in the past four months, Mike and I have traveled to the towns he lived in for his formative years. We started with Apple Valley, a suburb of Minneapolis, and then ventured to Naperville outside of Chicago.
They're both lovely towns with charming estates, green trees and fenceless yards. Still, the best parts of the tours had to be looking over and seeing the twinkle in his eye as he relived his childhood memories...the fort along the riverbed, antics at the softball field, first job bagging groceries at Byerly's and baseball games on Covington Court.
It's an honor when somebody opens their world to you and an experience I'll always cherish. Only one more trip and we'll complete the journey.
We might be Hong Kong bound!
