Ya Never Know.....

So Mom, do you recognize the lady in the picture? I took Richard to his first RedHawks game on Sunday Afternoon and guess who we sat right by? She's IN LOVE with Hawkeye she says... going to have her 80th birthday party in October....fun to see old neighbors from my childhood. Richard thought the game was a gas and was thinking he should get a job working there next summer....hummmm....until he saw the ushers had to dance on top of the dug-outs between innings...luckily, his workaholic nature evaporated right there. He also had another "first" on Saturday night. Since I had made plans with gal-pals down at the lakes, he was solo for the first time on a night off from the Forum --- about Thursday he asked me if I knew where the town of "Lisbon" in some county called "Ransom" was out in ND somewhere..... of course I chuckled and told him "ya, you betcha". Turns out he was going to head down to the Ransom County Fair and attend their demolition derby, since we had just been to his yearly favorite one down in Farmington the weekend before. So I head off to Pelican Lake, while he heads west out of Fargo. Soon I get a call... he's lost... asks me if I've heard of the town of Kindred and Leonard...seems he thought a shortcut down County Rd. 18 out of Casselton would be the quickest way... as I'm telling him "doesn't Highway 46 just take off from I-94 and take you straight to Lisbon?" He's not sure... so I call my Mom since that's her hometown...but she's gone. When I arrive in Comormant I get another call telling me he's in a darling little town he called "ENDERLING".... to which I just had to chuckle thinking my Dad must be laughing his head off up in heaven somewhere...anyway, he made it to the derby...was disappointed they only had 17 cars compared to the 110 they had in the Cities but said I was certainly right when I warned him all he was going to find out there was cowboys and indians....
