Good News!


Good news that the suspect has been captured. The headline is a bit misleading as he shot and killed lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark,  in their home after shooting lawmaker John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette at their home.

Amy Klobuchar shared a message from Yvette Hoffman on social media today: “John is currently undergoing numerous surgeries, and with each passing hour, he’s getting closer to being stable. He was shot nine times, and I was hit eight times — we’re both unbelievably fortunate to have survived. The loss of Melissa and Mark has left us heartbroken and deeply shaken.”

It was a stressful and busy week, so it felt good to spend today getting ready for our friends arriving early Wednesday morning. We’re really looking forward to their visit. We stayed with Elizabeth and Dave in Arizona during our 2023 road trip through the U.S. and parts of Canada. Now, they’re eager to escape the Arizona heat!

We’re learning that Minnesota weather forecasts can change daily. As of now, rain is expected for three of the four days they’ll be here. Temperatures should range from the low 60s up to 85 degrees—a refreshing change from the 101 to 111 degrees currently forecasted for their area in Arizona.

One nice thing about being at home is that if the rain keeps us indoors, there’s plenty of space for everyone to spread out and relax. Dave and Elizabeth enjoy playing board games, so that might be a great backup plan if we decide not to explore our corner of Minnesota in the rain.

May your week be filled with blessings!
