Saint Paul MN - Labor Day Weekend Gathering

 





Rallied the troops that we could find to hang out and enjoy a perfect weather evening to celebrate a bit of the long Labor Day Weekend.  Even had a quick drop in by Lizzie before the party got started - hanging in Minnesota for the weekend.  

Besides the usual fair took a chance on zucchinni and peach salad....and finished off with root beer float popsicles.

Great night all the way around.

Goodhue MN - A gathering of long time friends

 







We started gathering for dinner for Greg's birthday long ago.  And we kept gathering - I would always be invited back when I would return from my travels and work.  

And we had the chance to meet up one more time at Flora and Murrays, with out Murray, and enjoy an afternoon in Murray's barn with his personal organ.   

Next to the barn was some of the current corn crop and it was at leasat 8 feet tall - amazing. 

Vancouver BC Canada - One last wander


















Got out one more time in another direction before racing off to the airport to head home - and it was a good morning to get out early since it was going to heat up as the day went on.  And it was going to be even hotter on my return to Minnesota.   

Vancouver BC Canada - The Stanley Park Walk





































Thought I would get off in the AM and take in the loop around Stanley Park.  Longer loop than I anticipated but lots of great views and worth the wander.   Plenty of other sites along the way as well.
