HI, all! I just wanted to take a moment to tell you that we’re alive and well, and close to having time to blog again. I wrote about the potluck brunch for the exercise class. Remember, Cop Car moaned about needing to exercise more after all that food!?
The next weekend we went to Indiana to see my youngest sister’s oldest daughter graduate from high school. We went on Friday to help with the preparations and came home on Sunday.
The following weekend Elegante Mother and I hosted about 30 Red Hat Ladies to a potluck brunch. I’ll try to make a longer post on that.
Tuesday and Wednesday I had landscaping help. You know I’ll have a LONG post about that. It’s the first time I’ve ever hired help to get my gardens in shape, and the first time I’ve ever let anyone move anything in my gardens. They look fabulous. My only regret is that I didn’t do before and after pics.
Tonight, Nan and her youngest daughter, her daughter’s Danish boyfriend and his mother will be coming to stay overnight. Our Danish friends are sightseeing in Chicago this weekend before their visit winds down. Hotels in the city are pricey, so the four of them will come to us, late tonight, after a twilight cruise on lake Michigan with Dear Husband. My niece wanted everyone to go to dinner at Ed Debevic’s of all places. I think she thought her boyfriend would get a kick out of the sassy wait staff.
We’ll sleep in a bit tomorrow, and then go out to breakfast before we send the visitors on their way. I’m delighted to have the chance to see them., Elegante Mother is not able to sail, and I wasn’t sure I wanted to drive into Chicago for dinner. This is the best compromise.
We visited the Farmer’s Market today. It’s still early yet, but it was nice to see the strawberries and rhubarb. I think I’ll be making a pie tomorrow!
I hope you’re all having a great spring/summer. I’ll be back with more to tell you, I promise!
