I joined the AF back in 78 and retired in 98 at Altus, OK (way to hot and brown!). I was origanily from MN and my hubby from MI. We really missed having the four seasons and really wanted to be back closer to our families. We moved back to MN 7 years ago and love being here. Sure, the first winter was the hardest one to get through. I never ... Read Morerealized all the preparations that need to be done to get ready for the arrival of winter. We now have it pretty much down. We love sledding with our granddaughter and cross country skiing again. My husband loves plowing the driveway with our mower converted into a snowplow. I've never seen him get so excited about a snow fall as I did when we got our plow! The falls are amazing here and the summers are so enjoyable. We love to camp and be out doors as much as possible and the summers are amazing here. It's been great to be back and spend valuable time that we missed out on for way to long with our families. Loving Minnesota!
