What a heartfelt description of that beautiful state. It is close to all of our hearts right now and in Manitoba for sure. My dad grew up in a tiny border town , the last town on the #12 before you hit Warroad. It’s called Middlebro. Consequently I have many family members in Minnesota and Minneapolis. I have been going there all my life. I wonder if I ever will again. And I am very sick with worry for everyone there.

Thanks Joan. By the way, I was thinking of your playlist for Minnesota and it made me think of Blue Rodeo's song It Could Happen To You.

"Well, oh, my heart is sinking (oh, my heart is sinking)

The same old useless, worn out thinking

You live your life in the court of kings

Count your money as the raven sings

Safe and sound when the wrecking ball swings

But all your riches won't mean a thing someday

Oh, it could happen to you

Oh, it could happen to you

Oh, it could happen to you

Oh, it could happen to you"

Thanks Bob- I added it to my resistance play list last week. Great minds think alike.
