We had an amazing visit with a family in our neighborhood last evening. They came with their four daughters ranging in age from fourteen years old to ten months old. We ate ice cream at the kitchen island and visited for a little bit. Then Joe took mom and dad off for a tour of the house while the girls and I talked and sorted through our rock and stone collection.
Mom has a terrific energy and engaging manner about her.
When I asked what she enjoys doing when she is not taking care of her family,
she laughed. She does like shopping as do all three of the older girls. They
enjoy Mall of America (MOA). I teased them that I may have them take my nieces
to the MOA when they visit in June! Maybe I can get Megan to drive all of them
to Minneapolis and she can find a quiet spot and let them all shop till they
drop! I will be out touring lake sites with my Jeff and Kathy.
Our guests also brought us a lovely card, a bottle of wine,
and a bottle of champagne. Now they will have to visit again to help us drink
it!
Today we had an Open House for our neighbors to drop by and
have a tour of the house. While many in the neighborhood were out of town or had
prior commitments, we enjoyed meeting and visiting with the people who dropped
by.
We served cookies, made by Megan, and strawberry-lemonade
punch. The cookies were delicious as well as beautiful.
