Week in review

Well, Kristina and Stephen are here.  It is so nice to have them here.  My camera is acting up so  no photos.  Very disappointed!  Some of the activities we have done are going to the Como Conservatory and checking out the new Polar Bear exhibit.  It is about 2/3 larger.  Lots of room with swimming.  The flowers at the Conservatory were beautiful.  The sunken garden had many asiactic lilies.  I just love the Conservatory.
  We went to the Walker museum and  Sculpure garden.  The same exhibit was at the Walker, 1964 and talent show.  The works of art are so different with sometimes no reality in them.   I find I have to have a different mindset to enjoy.
We also went to Spicer and visited Granny.  She kept us busy with  chores around the home. We also took many items with us.  One of my favorite is a large ceramic crock that was used to making butter.
We went biking around the lakes.  This is my first long bike ride, and it was so much fun.  The weather was beautiful.
We enjoyed two severe thunderstorms.  On friday night the rain came down in sheets and the sky was green and black.  Kristina, Stephen and Jeff afterward jumped in puddles.
Stephen and Jeff graciously cleaned our gutters.  There was almost a forest growing in them.  The price you pay for having large Silver Maple Trees.
Lots more things we did, but have slipped my mind.  This has been a great week.  I have even enjoyed their dog  Skampers.  He is such a good dog and been busy chasing the bunnies out of our garden.
It has been a wonderful  time for our family and I hate it to leave,
