Christine, ND

Look up that location on your Map Quest app!  The Knudsen River Ranch (Ken's favorite appellation for his and Melanie's home) is a main stop on any local Home and Garden Tour in Christine! 



The whole family gathered there for a Mother's Day celebration.  We had a great time visiting, eating and exploring the property around the house.  Ken and Melanie had a cabin on their property along the Red River which was gradually destroyed by falling into the river because of erosion.  We all took a walk out there to see the conversion where Ken was having a Man Cave made out of the garage which was far enough from the river to be saved.

Kind of like a high school dance, the girls had their confab going while the boys were down along the river catching catfish out of the Red River.




Afterward, everyone got together around the fire pit.  Again, so much fun just talking and listening to all the generations different stories.  We did take a group photo; however, it was after Michelle and Adrian had left with their boys - they needed to get back home for some last minute homework.  I'll post the group photo when Melanie sends it to me.  We all posed out on the lawn and Celsey set up the camera with a timer and then ran back to the group while we all counted down :-). 


The sun set and the wine bottle levels went down - strange how that occurs.  It must be some force of nature. 

Today (Monday) was just a quiet day, caught up on some laundry, washed the car, checked AAA for some maps, and had lunch at Panera.  Tomorrow we're heading down to La Crosse, WI on our way to Tim's.
