We are awakened in our friend Faith‘s house by the lake. During the morning coffee, we heard the call of the loon, a special bird often heard in northern Minnesota, rarely as far south as the Twin Cities. It seem to be a lucky omen. We spent a beautiful morning having a French Toast breakfast and coffee outside and catching up further. Oh, the blessing of old friends is so good.
We said goodbye to Faith and then came over to Patti‘s very, long-term friend Ann’s new senior co-op. We are both so glad to see Ann and to see the new home that she and her husband, Keith, had moved into a few months ago. The downsizing process has been a very daunting one and we were so pleased to see their new home looking so good. Dick dropped Patti off and he went on to catch some lunch and then check into the Airbnb home where will be for a few days. Patti will spend the next 24 hours catching up with and talking from noon until late in the night. Nothing like dear old friends to catch up and share with each other.
Patti and Ann had a nice Indian lunch and then went walking. Later on when we joined for dinner by husband, Keith, and daughter, Vicky, and granddaughter, Zoe. We all had a great time eating beautiful Italian food and catching up.
Then back to Ann and Keith‘s home to chat and catch up until late in the night.
In the meantime, Dick was able to get some quiet alone time where he caught up on news and worked on photos. He was really appreciative to have some time where he didn’t need to be so social. Sometimes, it’s not easy being an introvert on a long trip.
Both had a chance to touch base by phone before headed off to sleep. So nice to be in the Twin Cities again.
