Day 3 Sunday 28th June

Minneapolis
Today we visited Paula's sister  Lisa and husband in St. Paul. They showed us their lovely garden and we sat out under the shady tree and chatted. It was a lovely warm day. I remarked about how cute the squirrels were. I sure got a reaction from Lisa, it appears they are destructive like our possums.

We then visited the old flour mill and we're lucky to have Paula's daughter Olivia, as our guide. It was interesting to find that the flour dust had ignited and caused a huge explosion in which 8 people had lost their lives. I do recall the name Gold Medal flour. I wonder if we had it in Australia.


I also found out Betty Crocker was not a real person. It was just a marketing strategy. Shock horror

A woodchuck also called a groundhog. Funny always thought they were different animals
Every day we would eat outside enjoying the beautiful weather. Also enjoyed these little squirrels playing. So cute
