SAVE OTTUMWA POST “Sorry babe, those are going home for John.” I gave them kisses, and I headed back for Duluth.
One Good Turn
I keep a running list of people I want to mail cookies to, and thet list was growing. I would also be driving my granddaughters to southern Minnesota in a couple of days, and they’re always up for Papa’s Ginger Crack cookies. So, I baked about eighteen dozen. Then, after handdelivering several bags of fresh cookies, I packed and mailed five dozen more. I put the rest in a bag to take to Addison and Evelyn.
I hate returning a car with an empty tank. So, I turned off I-35 at the exit to go to a gas station on Superior Street. They usually have the best fuel price in town. I had to backtrack a few blocks, but it’s worth it; I topped off the tank. Driving east on Superior Street there’s a fork in the road; to the right takes you up the hill to Mesaba Avenue - left continues on Superior to downtown, and I can get on I-35 from there. But, to me, it always feels like going right should keep me on Superior, so that’s what I did. “Crap! Wrong-way again.” No problem, I can take the first right, go downtown.

fore I saw the street sign. I started to go straight, then second-guessing myself; I began to turn right, then straight, then saw the Pizza Luce sign on the corner. “This is Lake Avenue,” I said and committed to turning right. Meanwhile, the oncoming car had no idea what the heck I was doing, and he started to turn left in front of me, then hesitated, then turned anyway. So, we were both turning south on Lake Avenue at the same time. No problem, with two southbound lanes, there was one for each of us. I needed to move to the left lane; the ramp to I-35 comes up quickly. It was awkward trying to change
lanes with the other car over there. I had my signal on, and he backed off to let me over. That was nice of him. The ramp to I-35 North comes up so quickly it always feels like I’m turning onto the ramp coming off the interstate. If I hesitate and miss the turn, I have to drive into Canal Park to turn around and come back. I almost
missed it again tonight but quickly made my turn onto the ramp. That’s when the driver of the other car turned on his lights. The red, amber, blue and white were all so pretty and flashy! …thought I was drunk… littering…stuck in the snow… For the rest of the story, visit ottumwapost.com.

On the road trip, the girls each ate four cookies. At our destination, Evelyn asked, “Papa, can we take the cookies with us.”
A few blocks later, I came to a traffic signal. “Is this Lake? No? Yes?” I was talking to myself. The traffic light turned green be-
