MN Sunday 10/21

Our day begins with church and seeing a few friends. Granddaughters adjust a bulletin board near classrooms. Younger one can't resist doing cartwheels in the wide and nicely carpeted hall.

We stop for doughnuts afterward at a small independent and award-winning doughnut shop and choose a variety of pastries. The wife at the register and the husband in the kitchen are the only employees, and a big sign says cash only. At home we open the box to share and compare, my vote going to apple fritters.

The balmy afternoon is perfect for raking leaves, and these girls are experienced. Their efforts rewarded by a huge pile, they jump in and become leaf children. PawPaw threatens to jump on the leaf pile, too, but it's too full of girls and giggles.
