My last two posts got all mixed up. They got turned around. Tuesday got listed after Saturday. Weird Harold.
Sharon Kuubits arrived here safe and sound on Thursday late in the afternoon and we had a lovely fish dinner with sweet potato fries in the oven. Yummy. Some nice Italian wine, Opula a red blend, from a Tuscan cooperative of over 200 growers from that region. It's a blend of Cabernet, Sangiovese, Syrah and Merlot. Anyway it was good wine. Of course we also enjoyed my Black Box Merlot and last night the Radio Boca Red.
Friday was Sharon Day, which means what ever you want to do, we will do. Friday morning I had a Doctor appointment so we got a late start but off to Grand Rapids. We had lunch at Forest Lake and then off shopping. I found outdoor boots and socks at Glen's Surplus. We also went to the Goodwill Store, I found 4 cute tops. Couldn't help myself, they were too cute and toe more small luncheon plates to match my winter dishes. We went to Bender shoes, found nothing, that store is just too expensive.
We went to Target, I needed a couple of things, now I have to write them in the check book. Yuck.
We had a nice steak dinner and had movie night. We watched Cary Grant in "The Bishop's Wife", loved it and you all should have been here Saturday, we went to Walker, I found some black pantsand Sharon found twoturtle neck thirsts, and we had lunch but the best part was when we got home and got ready to go to the party on Big Sand Lake. I wish we would have taken pictures. Sharon did have the cutest hat on, the wind was blowing off the lake and everywhere at at least ar 25 miles an hour. What a day, we looked like Nannook of the North and her sister Gerta. What a pair, I could hardly sit down, I had to lean my seat back in the car to drive.
Jim and Gerry drove in about the time we were leaving and he certainly told us we were nuts, he brought the fish house back from Red Lake and with the wind it was fish tailing all over the road.
We went over to Nancy Greens, and stood facing the lake ready to take it on and lasted all of 2 or 3 minutes. The wind almost blew us over and if blown over we would have never been able to get upright again. We did the sensible thing, we came home and ate. We had all kinds of snacks. It was wonderful and I. Subjected Sharon to movie night again, this time Judy Garland and Van Johnson in, The Good Old Summertime, then we played "Racko" until we killed off a bottle of wine. Was really fun.
Will be a busy day today, we usher at church and we also have our annual church meeting, the wind has died down but it is 12 below.BURR!
The kids are at The Smith Christmas Party, it is an every year event in Shakopee at a motel that one of the cousins works at. There are so many cousins and second cousins I don't think they will ever run out of get to gethers. My side of the family is so small. I want to go down to see Skye next week and get my hair done. I have a second cousin I want to get together with, her Mom was Dawn and died last year and she wants to stay in touch and I am anxious to meet face to face. I think it will be the beginning of a very nice friendship, if I ever get the first meeting done.
Well, got to shower and get going. I wonder how many we will have at church today, it's so very cold out.
