Best Rest

Saturday, May 25, 2024
Day 7: Mankato to Madison Ride

I wonder, what constitutes resting?
A wild type of fun and some jesting?
What do you think of,
When speaking with love?
Rest comes with the care you're investing.

How do you give yourself “rest?”

Today I enjoyed my third shift:
Connecting with others.

It was the Best Rest!

Mississippi and docked boats

Rest Day, Lacrosse, WI

Really a rest day and a half,
Since we arrived early Friday.

My rest-time has been a time of
Wonderful connections.
One on one visits,
Which have made my heart happy.

Clockwise from upper left: Beautiful peonies! Beautiful granddaughter, Dr and Mrs. Gundersen. Founded Gundersen Medical System, Lin and son, Rob

Friday dinner out with
Granddaughter Rose.
Lots of shared info and
Lots of Love.

Saturday afternoon with
Son Rob.
Sitting at an outside table,
Drinking coffee,
Rob eating his lunch.
One on one time that we cherished.

Surely, this was a Rich Rest Day.

Left to Right: Dinner at Huck Finn Cafe, Fast, fun boats docked on Mississippi River.

Our bike group has expanded by three.

Cindy and John from Vermont,
Sharon, also from Vermont,
Are here with bikes,
Ready to ride.
Lucky us.

May you, too, have the Best Rest!

Hugs,
Lin
