It also means that summer activities are in full-swing much earlier than usual, as evidenced by this past weekend's flurry of parties and outdoor time.

Baby shower for Emily / Golfing with Diana and Nicki / Bulldog with Morgan / Anne's birthday party
Spring-y baby shower wrapping After an early start at E's brunch baby shower, I hustled back to Mpls to meet D and Nicki for my first golf outing of the season at Gross National. (Of course I managed to get lost on the way, damn Google Maps directions, and ran onto the course midway into the first hole.) It was a gorgeous day for golf, and the beverages we had along the way helped ease the pain of my very rusty golf game.
Next up a quick drink and appetizer extravaganza at Bulldog with Morgan before I ran home to change for Anne's birthday party. The big 2-7 for this girl, but I failed to take a single photo! Maybe it was the Strongbow?
SUNDAY:
Lunch with Mom / Bench Building with Dad / Shopping & HH with Jess
My parents came by today with two very separate goals. My dad's was to build a bench on my patio, and my mom's was to sit (and eat) on a patio. And everybody won. My mom and I hopped across the street to one of my local faves she's been wanting to try, Common Roots, while my dad dutifully built a bench in one hour for $30. The great bench project deserves its own post, soon to follow, complete with photos.
Then I ran off to meet up with Jess for a trunk show at I Like You in Northeast, followed by an indulgent happy hour at Red Stag, complete with cheese curds, popcorn, french fries and wine. Yum.

In April 2010 I learned of this blog. Good to see you in "print". Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteI've been using Tumblr insead of Wordpress lately, but with all my friends having MR in their blogroll, wonder if I should update both or request they update their blogroll. I get really torn about the little details of mass web domination with blogging. Maybe you will, too.
Oh, I think I need to update you with 2010 music.
Thanks, Jeff! (And thank you for honoring the headline structure in your reply.)
ReplyDeleteYes, new music please and always.
