No, I didn’t get to have it “twice” . . . I lost it on the way to work. I’m pretty sure I lost it in the mud room at my house. I spent all kinds of time 10 minutes preparing this gourmet lunch leftovers and making a smoothie for breakfast. Then I put it in my lunch bag like I do every day - and promptly walked out the door without it. I hate it when a day starts this way!
So, what should I have for lunch today? Apparently I get to go anywhere I want 
I would go for soup and salad at Olive Garden!!
Jodie…you can’t even imagine how beautiful it has been here in Minnesota for the past week!! The most gorgeous fall trees and marvelous color most people say they have ever seen. It is absolutely stunning. A wide variety of reds, oranges, golds, and greens in every shade imaginable. Everytime I look at the big hillside going up to North Mankato it nearly brings tears to my eyes it is so beautiful. Wish you could see it. This is the first year I ever remember that the flowers in this area were not frozen out by September 15 or earlier. Mine are still going strong and have beautiful flowers on them yet. If this is global warming I for one am all for it!!
Also, when I got to work this morning I had to look at the picture of your family on the ride again that you posted yesterday to see if it was as funny to me today as it was yesterday. It was…laughed again until tears flowed.
Love…Mom
Pick the most expensive restaurant and your favorite and take it as a sign that you were meant to treat yourself.
My sister, Marie Helen, would buy an expensive dress and everyone one would ask, “what did you buy the dress for?” She said, “I owed it to myself.” So figure you owed it to yourself to do something special.

Skulk around the office looking pitiful, signing about forgetting your lunch, perhaps someone else will want to go out to lunch. and maybe feel sorry enough for you to pay
Oh no! I am so sorry! I hope that you got something yummy to eat then. When I forget my lunch, I end up with a soda from the vending machine and a cereal bar. Not great, but I can’t leave school to go out to eat.
Tell your mom to send you pictures of that hillside so you can post them! How I miss Fall in MN!!! Dave was there this past weekend and said he couldn’t believe how much rain they got over the weekend. I told him he should have brought me back some leaves to dry. While I love our leaves here, we don’t get the same variety of colors as MN.
Hope Buffalo Wild Wings was good for lunch! I’m sure that’s where you went!
Hope whatever you decided on for lunch was yummy!!! I love the roller coaster photo in your last post - that is priceless and looks like fun - not that you’d ever get me on that thing - eeeeeek!
Take care and see you soon - Kellan
