Good morning Wilderness! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed the moisture falling from the sky, not in snow form. We had a busy day of hockey yesterday as the Hockey World Tournament finished up in Sweden with the host country claiming gold over Switzerland and USA found a way to win the bronze medal in a shootout over Finland. If you're in the Twin Cities area it was a good day to have a 'stay in bed and watch hockey' day.
