We awoke to gorgeous and sunny day after some very strong storms the previous night. We began our day with a delightful chat with neighbors, Sid and Terry, originally from Schenectady. Then we took a walking tour to see the outdoor Sculpture Exhibition, beginning in North Mankato, crossing the Minnesota River and then heading to downtown Mankato. Matt's Aunt Shellee and Uncle Bill joined us back at the house where Pat and I were inducted into the traditional Schlib Schlob rituals of the Daley family. Pat and I added a few ingredients that we brought from New York to this wonderful and mysterious concoction! It was truly the perfect day!
