Once upon a time, a young couple would drive for hours (around eight) to meet one another. They made cassette tapes for the other to listen to on the long car ride full of love songs. Each had special surprises waiting for the other. Some weekends it would be the warmer Missouri and sometimes to the colder northern Wisconsin. The two would spend the weekend together walking, talking and exploring new places. Fall was always my favorite time to travel. The Wisconsin air was crisp and cool which helped to make the good-byes a little more sober. Our favorite spot to say good-bye became a warm sun-filled spot by Mendota lake. The sunlight would cut right through the trees making our eyes glow. We used to call them "sun kisses"
Those glowing eyes are still there, they just reflect four amazing kids all having a ball raking the lawn on a crisp fall day in Minnesota.. still pretty romantic.
