Saint Paul - Dawit...the graduation parties continue

Another day another graduation party it seems!
I was included as part of the International Student Graduation Celebration - an event filled with the 2010 class of international students, friends and families.
Lots of early memories recalled - of course the SNOW was often brought up.
And many adventures shared from the last four years.
And how about that new suit!

Saint Paul - Dawit's Graduation Celebration...the videos!

coming soon to a screen near you...

Saint Paul - Mothers Day

One party over and the kitchen is revved up again for Mother's Day Brunch - with plenty of mothers in attendance.
Details of the party after the party emerged despite a few of the suspects MIA. And even a DQ sighting in the late night hours.

Saint Paul - Dawit's Graduation Celebration

A full evening celebrating the four years of Dawit's Minnesota adventure - a tremendous gathering of friends with plenty of laughs and surprises throughout the night.
Greg manned the kitchen, the younger set stayed close to the food and Betty, Margie and Mary led the dance line throughout the house.
The sun came out after a day of cold, rain and even some snow to the north.

Saint Paul - reunion time again...and recalling all those days in Winona

Joan and I had a great couple years together in Winona during our first 2 college years. We kept up on each other through mutual friends but our paths had not crossed again since 1978...until Saturday.
Great memories and laughs - and oh those pictures from so long ago! And it is good to recall that we all survive, somehow, those college years!
We vowed not to let the lapse go along before we meet again. And it is great to have Jane and Karen in town so we can keep current frequently.

Cabo - a few stray shots

We headed to Cabo a month ago...always good to relive some of the great memories from the trip!

Saint Paul - blowing around the metro on our bikes and getting the bbq season started

A couple others from the bike group joined me on Saturday and we took on a ride with much more resistance from the wind than we expected - wow it just got gustier and gustier out there. The news mentioned a few 45 mph gusts recorded - I think we lived them.
Finals time and the year end wind down. So the Mac Team, and a few others, gathered for the first bbq of the season. The weather certainly cooperated to start sooner but getting things on the deck was a slower process.
As always many good stories and laughs were shared by all. And we had a bit of an early start to the graduation celebrations...
