So great to have family get together. It's like we were never apart for long, just pick up where we left off. Carol hosted with Minnesotans providing great food. If you couldn't make it we were kind in discussing you...lol!

Friday evening some went to the Minnesota Twins game and the elders (you know who you are !) went out for a fun dinner. Saturday Carol and I had a quiet breakfast in which she provided fabulous scones with spreads of Devon shire cream and lemon curd...to die for!! The family enjoyed rest of day at Forest Lake. Carol's is right on the water so fishing, paddle boating, dock sitting, lawn games and catching up was the order of the day.. Sunday brunch or visiting the state fair with everything imaginable to eat on a stick. Sounds like the lumberjack exhibit was a must see. Sunday evening relaxing and great conversations.
Monday all t he out of towners from Australian, Ohio, Tennessee and Illinois met for breakfast at the hotel and departed for different destinations. Marilynn and Steve, the Aussie and my daughter, drove back home with me along the Mississippi (Red Wing, Stillwater) and then 90/94.

Marilynn and Steve stayed with younger daughter and her family for a few days. Tuesday night dinner with all at Case Bonita for Hispanic food and margaritas. Then strolled a block down to The Tavern (great decor) for chocolate/rasberry martinis and dessert. Wednesday a.m. took Mar and Steve to my Lifetime for a workout, back to other daughters and SOB!!! they leave for Chicago, Orlando, Dominican Republic, New York then back to Sidney. AU
Thank you Sue for the pictures!
