Go Twins and Yay Vikings

Watching baseball in my opinion is way boring. However our Twins have done quite well the past couple of games so I have become a fair weather fan and am trying to watch the game against the Yankees. Gonna help pass the time by blogging...

A few weeks back I spent the week in Nicollet area visiting friends. When you have moved and go back for a visit it does get difficult to spend time with everyone that you would like to, but I think I did a pretty good job of it.

Chrissy and I spent a day shopping at Ikea and thrift stores, both of which were pretty much a bust. I did get a new lens for my camera though because mine had pretty much bit the dust given the rolls down various rocky areas it (and I) took. Of course I had to try it out....
Chrissy behind the wheel of my Honda.
The sun rays coming through clouds on the way home And look Jess, I take pictures of deer down south too!It was a fun (and exhausting) day Chrissy thanks for spending it with me.

Another day Jess and I and the dogs took a long walk in Rasmussen Woods.
Even though Jack and Peeko had not been together for a long time they fell right into their old walking habits....hunt hunt sniff sniff.
Mary and I spent a day touring her garden, talking about plants and had lunch at StPeter's forgotten place to eat, the cafeteria at Gustavus College.
My new lens has more of a wide angle and I was able to capture this nice shot. Gustavus' campus is gorgeous with their blooming plants.
And another day was spent with my friend Jan. Mikey was up north with his friend David...trying to catch some fish or maybe just having fun!
Jan and I did some route planning for our winter tour...exciting.
This is a picture of the flowers in her motor home reflected in the side mirror.
And finally a picture of four generations taken by Kelly's mom during Julia's birthday partyGreat Grandpa and Julia playing, 'You can't get my bear'I had to share this one as David spent a lot of time getting Julia to warm up to him. She finally did and then became grandpa's girl! Here they are on the deck watching the neighbor cut hay.And then back home again to find my mums almost swallowing up the menopausal maiden in the boat garden.
Last weekend David's brother Ron was able to spend some time in the northland and much to his dismay he did not win a game of cribbage against David!
Top of the 5th score is 2 to 3, Twins are not ahead......oops Yankees just scored 4 to 2. Might be time to turn the channel.
I have been meaning to say hello to Wes...so Hi Wes.
