Weekend fun

What a full agenda! Friday evening, Cindi came over so that I could give her some goodies I brought from AZ, plus a bottle of wine which just happened to be her favorite. Cindi took care of the house and my mail for almost 5 months. Talk about a great friend. Then we went to the Club for fish and crazy conversation with the mayor and Cindi’s other golfing buddies.

Saturday Tammy, Bob, Skyler and Mark came down from ABQ. To honor the occasion, I invited Al Wilkinson, a gentleman who knew Tammy as a toddler in Sacramento, and my friend Deb Peters for a BBQ. It was a really fun evening of food and drink. Here’s a picture of Tammy and Al.

This was taken on the front patio. Some of my other attempts at pictures there didn’t work as well. For that reason, we don’t have a picture of Deb.

Al, Sky, and Mark, Sky’s boyfriend, posed in the sunroom.

After Deb and Al left, my Minnesota neighbors showed up. Bill and Cheryl have had the house across the street for at least 10 years, but only come down a couple times a year. They live in Eden Prairie which is one of the premier subdivision outside the Twin Cities. This is Sky and Cheryl with daddy Bob in the background.

Even though this was a rather late evening, Tammy and I did the 3 mile walk in the morning and then we all went to breakfast at the Club. For Christmas, I got Sky some cowboy boots and she wore them so I could see them. I surprised her with a cowboy hat to go with. Her are some pictures showing off her new apparel.

The first picture was taken on the balcony at the Club. The wind had just started to blow and you can see part of the golf course in the background. The blue shirt is Mark admiring the course. The second picture is in my formal backyard complete with bird bath and bird feeder (not in the picture) and my purple ash trees which are just starting leaf. The whole weekend was a memorable time.
