Our Kids and Grandkids |
|
On October 30th, 2016, Sophie turned 8 years old. We celebrated all together at her home in Brooklyn Park on Friday, October 21st, because Jenny and family were in town from Tioga, North Dakota. |
|
My grandchildren, Mia and Sophia Orsen, Addie and Gunnar Norgaard. |
|
Daughter Jenny and the girls. |
|
The big kids, Nick and Christopher, Jen and Jenny. |
|
Grandma Sue gets in the picture. |
|
Grandpa Al gets in the picture. |
|
When opportunity knocks to get a picture of my kids and grandkids all together, I open the door. |
|
Gunnar and Mia played basketball outside for a while. |
|
Back home in Victoria, we showed Jenny and Chris and kids some of the new sights in Victoria — like the new location of Enki Brewing. |
|
It’s spacious and bright and we sat at this bar to have one of Enki’s craft beers. |
|
We peered over the edge to see the beer production equipment. Enki cut a hole in the floor of the two-story building (the former HEI) to accommodate the needed height. |
|
John Hayes of Victoria is an Enki owner. His partner is Dan Norton. |
|
Explained John, “Those are spent grains being hauled out by Dan Hesse. After we soak the grain (malted barley) in hot water to extract sugars, the leftover material — for example, fiber and protein — is fed to Danny’s cows.” |
|
There are still cornfields in Victoria, Minnesota, and Gunnar went out to pick a couple ears for the squirrels. |
|
Gunnar loves everything to do with fields and farming. |
|
It’s hard to beat the fall colors surrounding the St. Victoria Catholic Church. |
|
We showed them the Hartman Barn that is under construction on Bavaria Road next to the Tree Farm. |
|
The barn was first built on a farm in Indiana 150 years ago. A company near Brainerd takes the barn apart, numbers all the ancient timber, and sells it for reconstruction. Jeff Hartman brought one to Victoria. |
|
Jenny and family left Victoria on a beautiful fall day. |
|
Thank you for coming, kids. Love you. |
|
Actually, it’s hard to beat the fall color in our very own yard. |
