I do understand. If you change your mind and decide to stop by on your way to Britt on Thursday, or to drive back home though St. Ansgar on Saturday, just give me a call! If you come on Thursday or Saturday as you are driving by here going west or east, you would be driving only 20 or 30 miles out of your way, as we are only a short distance north of Highway 18.

My husband thinks this is pretty right on. Britt is closer, about 30 miles, from Thompson, where his church and the parsonage are. Thomspon is 45 miles or 1 hour west of here.

The thing is, coming from the east, you should go through St. Ansgar, or come home through St. Ansgar, instead of going the whole way west, then backtracking all the way east again to St. Ansgar. We're just 6 miles north of Highway 9 if you're coming across on that road. We're 25 miles north of Highway 18, the road Britt is on. So if you come either on the way or on the way home, that would be the most you would have to detour to get here. Just a suggestion!

Just wanted to confirm that I have you down for lunch on Friday at 12:30 p.m. Is your friend coming, too, or just you? I am so excited!
