Stillwater MN - Easter MN Style




A bit grey and cool but a really great day for late March.
We gathered a good crowd and after lots of great food we had too many desserts - but we had some of all of them!!!

Goodhue MN - Year 36+ celebrating another year with Greg and Friends



Another year, another great dinner party.
Flora always does it big - and always enjoyed by all.
A rainy night but sure beat all of the icy and snowy ones we had over the years.

Tokyo Japan - A Ninja Dinner













Have had the opportunity to go to several great spots to eat.  This trip we headed out for a Ninja experience - lots of fun and the food was both beautiful and delicious.  Had several items with bamboo coal as an ingredient to create a dark, rich black coloring.
Also caught some spring moments and had a meeting with quite the view as well today.

Tokyo Japan - Just ahead of the Cherry Blossoms Blooming

































First day of spring, and Greg's birthday, and I am wandering around the Imperial Palace Area.
I recall being able to see the Palace from the distance on my first visit in 1996 - not anymore.  Either the trees have grown up or they have added them for more security.
Spring is almost here - caught a few things starting to bloom.  I will be back in a month and will probably miss all of the Cherry Blossoms and the beautiful start to the new season in Japan.
