Al and I get to Hawley, Minnesota, a number of times each year for holiday visits with family and for appointments with our dentist, Geoff Bentley, who used to live across the back yard from my family as we were growing up. It seems strange to see the people, whose pictures in my memory were those of children, as older adults. I suppose that being aware of the passage of time is not a bad thing! It may be that I still have it in my head that when I am not there to witness ongoing change, change does not take place.
