Our weekend

Our friends, Jim and Martha were here for the weekend from Wisconsin. They came last Thursday. On Friday we shopped at Ikea where we ate their famous Swedish meat balls for lunch. That night, J. & M. took us to Sunsets on the Bay, a restaurant in Wayzata on Lake Minnetonka. Nice.
On Saturday, Martha and I attended a shower for her granddaughter Melissa. It was held in the 'summer house' of the hostess--a big square room with windows on all sides under the big trees in her back yard. It was a little eerie when the sky turned green and then black as night in the middle of the forenoon. Then the wind blew and it poured. But we went right on with our games, gifts and eating as if nothing was happening.
Saturday night, Bill and I had tickets to "American In Paris" at Orchestra Hall. What a great way to spend an evening. (J. & M. had another commitment). Prior to going inside where it was cool and comfortable, we sat outside on Peavy Plaza and listened to 'salsa' music and watched people dance (sort of Mexican dancing) in the unbelievable heat and humidity.

We ate out again on Sunday with some mutual friends, so there wasn't much cooking at home.
The four of us played dominoes every chance we had and ate our meals out on the patio the few times we ate at home. A relaxing weekend.
J. & M left on Monday for their new town home in Wisconsin, so all is peace and quiet this week at our house.
