Whew! It's been quite a busy week. We started out in Baraboo. Hung out with the Justus's and later the Krehbiels came, followed by the Klumbs (Roger & Brittany), and finally rounding out our family with the coming of the Meeusens. Molly was blessed by her father. Then it was over to Heidi's for a birthday party for Molly. Everyone was there, including Eric's parents, Sharon and Jim Justus. After eating and more eating, we all watched in awe as Molly selected a golf ball from a tray of items placed in front of her. According to Korean tradition, whatever she chooses indicates the path her life will take...in this case, that of an athlete, much to her father's sheer joy!
That was on Sunday. On Monday Roger and I were off to Rochester to help Chrissy and Jeff move into their new home!!! What a wonderful house they picked, and judging by all the work they're doing, it will truly be a home in short order. Unfortunately, we took only 2 pictures as both their new house and their old townhouse are in varying stages of moving...hence, boxes piled high, no pictures on the walls, etc. Wait until you see it though, you'll all be impressed. Oh, and before Roger chastizes me, we did make a trip to Austin, MN, home of the SPAM museum!
We left Rochester Wednesday morning, arriving home about 1:30pm. Then I remembered. Our good friends, John and Maria, were coming to dinner the next evening. What exactly did this mean for me? It meant doing laundry (we had been gone since Saturday), vacuuming, dusting, cleaning the bathrooms, and making the dessert for Thursday night's dinner. That was all done Wednesday evening while Roger was at a
meeting at Lake Michigan Ward.
Thursday we went for a walk, I picked a pile of lettuce from our garden and cleaned it, ran to the grocery store, frosted the cake I'd made the night before, set the table, made dinner and...ding dong! There they were, but I was ready.
So, in celebration of the aforementioned events, I snapped a couple of pictures for all to enjoy.
And now...Friday night...I'm making cookies and then putting my feet up as I savor a few minutes of reading and doing very little else.
Yarps. You need a little rest! I hope you had a relaxing evening. ;) We had a great time with you guys here, thanks so much for all the help!!!
ReplyDeleteWhew, lots of running from one fun place to the next. Your dinner table looks fabulous. Very cute napkin rings, flowers, place matts, the lemon on the glasses, your garden grown salad. It's like a picture out of home and garden, watch out martha stewart.
