There are a few people we have not heard from and just in case you forgot what I look like here you go!!!  I haven't changed a whole lot since yesterday and this is downtown Minneapolis on top of the Walker Art Center mini-golf place with the church where we were married in the background - just a couple details👫.  If you are looking to do something fun with a view the mini golf on the roof of the Walker is a good place for a view and then of course to see the spoon and cherry in the public gardens! $8-10 to golf and free to walk in the gardens.

July Reunion - Better Late than Never:)

July 19, 2014 - 50 year Class Reunion of the Great Lafayette High School Class of 1964

What can I say except that it turned out to be a great time, went perfectly and we all want to do it again and I am willing to host because the guests were wonderful and helpful.  This made the day very easy for me and Ross!

We had a crazy busy and fun summer at our house so I am getting finished with my "lists" - I'm sure we all have them.  Finishing this was one thing on the list.

Enjoy!
