Visitors from the South

We had a visit from from some Southerners today. Wade, Kim, and their daughter Bea were in town for Kim to attend a class. We gathered some of the usual suspects and had a potluck picnic at Minnehaha Falls. The weather was superb, one of the nicest days in the history of days. This is the best of the photos that I got. My photos of Kim were not so good, but you can see what an attractive four year old Bea has become. We had grilled chicken and an assortment of side dishes while we talked over the last few years. We remembered that Wade is about a year older than OSLO, and that he has been away from Minnesota since he was about seven. So long that he had to use GPS to find the park. We stopped to look at the falls, too. It was pretty with a healthy flow of water over the edge, but it was too dark for a decent photo, so you may have to check out a recent blog entry from GZ to get a good feel for its flow.



No tennis today. This weekend promises to be taxing. The mixed doubles sectionals will be held at BaseLine Tennis Center at the U on Mn on Saturday and Sunday. We have a chance to advance to the nationals, but it will take a good weekend's play to get there. It's a team thing, so we'll have to play and see what happens.

Cute little kid. A nice night for a picnic .... all the rain must be here, then. Still, glad you all had fun.

OSLO's birthday was Wednesday. She turned 44. I really can't remember if she's a little older or a little younger than Wade, but he probably can.

Wade said that he's a little older. He'll be 45 this year. TT
