I enjoy taking a day off each week. It gives us a chance to relax and get to know our host families better. This weekend, Les Chermak our new support person and I had the privilege of staying with Sharon, Derek, and Kristi Rasmussen. They have been excellent and gracious hosts while we’ve been here. We got spoiled eating Sharon’s brownies and Kristi’s chocolate pie. We went with them this morning to their church, Bethel Lutheran, in Northfield. We then came home for lunch. This afternoon, I’ll have to confess that we joined millions of others on this opening weekend in viewing the latest Batman movie, the Dark Knight. We noticed a few others from our group were in the theatre too. Northfield is famous for having the last bank that Jesse James and his band of outlaws robbed. They tried to make off with about $5 in money but members of the group were either apprehended or killed. Jesse apparently escaped but that ended his bank robbing days. Every September, they have a reenactment of the robbery. Thousands come into town on this weekend.

Hi Tom, finally got a chance to read your blog. Our computer hasn't been working well. Fun to see your pictures, especially the goat! Brad, Adam and I went to see The Dark Knight on Sunday too. We all liked it. In fact, Adam is there again tonight with his friends. I'm sure you loved the views along the Mississippi, even if it meant some additional climbing. It was fun to ride out with you on Sat. Take care. Ruth
