I've been playing around with my inks and stamps and working on some 2-step flowers. I was hoping to get some done for the girls for Mother's Day, but then I couldn't find my sentiment for that, and just got bogged down. I really need to start these things earlier.
Wendy drove over last night, and headed straight for Jeremy and Laura's. She got in about 1. The boys had track meet, so she waited for that. And then, it turned out, they took the time to find a new vehicle, which was badly needed. They make a lot of Rochester trips and that does put on the miles. She came to MN all by herself, thinking the boys had ballgames, etc. And then it snowed in Rapid City, so everything was cancelled!! So they could have come along if they had known a little sooner. Eli was even supposed to sing the national anthem before the ball games. He's really doing well with that.
This morning I played with the stamps a little more, still didn't get anything finished. Orrin suggested that we go over early and visit with Wendy a little bit. The plan was to meet them, plus Al, Lisa, and the boys in St. Peter at Whisky River Supper Club at 5:00. So we left around 10:30, and got to Mankato about 12:30, and then stopped for a quick and small lunch. Wendy, Laura and Maria were at the Children's Museum. They were almost done when we got to town, and we decided it wasn't worth the $8 admission for us to go there. So we met them at the mall, and bopped around there a little bit. Orrin picked up our fishing license at Scheel's, I looked around Barnes and Noble a bit, and then stopped at CJ Banks. Everything was 40% off! Hmm, did I need anything? Well, no, but did I find a few things? Yep. We met the girls at Target and decided to head to St. Peter and go to the nice park there, where they had a great activity area, slides and swings and all kinds of things. Al and family came after a bit, so they all had fun for a while. :)
It will be interesting to see just how much snow they were getting out west, I guess it was melting before it hit the ground during the day, but will probably stick more tonight. Tim moved the trampoline over the garden, so it wouldn't get smushed. I talked to Cori earlier, and she said they were expecting snow tomorrow. We would take a little rain, but they can keep the snow!
We then headed over to Whiskey River for supper, which was excellent! They were very busy, I guess there were others that were having an early Mother's Day celebration. Jeremy joined us midway, he had been golfing at Chaska Country Club, very posh. He just ordered a meal to go as we were finishing up. We visited for a bit outside, it was very nice out. Alan brought Wendy and I some geraniums, he's always so thoughtful. Hope it's nice enough tomorrow to get them planted.
Oh, did I mention we took Teddy along? He was tickled to take a ride and see the kids.
A closer pic of the kids - and then of my fern peony, it's just about to bloom!
Hugs, Orrin, Linda and Teddy
