Minnesota trip

Just back from Minnesota and seeing cousins I'd never met before. Just west of Minneapolis my grandmother Adolphena and her family settled in 1889 in a town called Waterville. Now it's just an hours drive but back then I'm sure it took longer. I visited with granddaughters of my grandmother Adolphene's sister (making us second cousins I suppose) on the original farm site of their grandmother which now owed by the granddaughter overlooking a lovely lake. It took me a while but I found myself shedding the stress and noise of the city like scales falling off until the second day when I experienced quiet and peace. The only sounds i heard were the cows.
Another cousin of another sister of my grandmother took we three cousins on a tour of all the farms the different members of the family owned. The farms were lovely rolling hills of corn crops and old farm houses. My grandmother grew up on a small rise above a creek. The creek looked so contained I thought it might be a canal but Noel told us a story about it when the wagon went down in the "ditch." I can't remember all the details. The original buildings are gone of course but the shade trees by the house and the view of the fields made it a pretty sight.
We then visited the farms of his mother when she was a young woman and working for a family that had an elderly mother. This was next door to one of the houses of the cousins of my great grandfather who I learned sponsored my grandmothers family to come to the US. I heard that they had to be sponsored and that it wasn't cheap.
I know my grandmother loved returning to Minnesota in the summer in her adult life from Washington State. I know know why. I can imagine her going from farm to farm sleeping in quiet room with land, green fields and crops all around for miles. No sound of the city or cars. Perhaps a cow or two. And people surrounding you that you share stories and heritage with.
But most of all I imagined it in the winter, behind a horse drawn sleigh with a horse hair blanket across your lap. Noel told us they would heat bricks and put them in the sleigh to warm your feet and if your feet were warm then all of you was.

If you can run large fiscal deficits without raising the price of home financing, that sort of changes the dynamic -- all the costs are future costs.
