Cabo San Lucas Mexico - Sunshine and warmth

With our recording setting winter and more and more snow falls the Cabo trip couldn't come soon enough this year.
The weather was perfect and the activities always memorable.
Uncle Al was around at the same time as our group this year. With 18 years of Cabo experience Al creates excitement every day.
Greg was supposed to enjoy the adventure but he went for the 3 week flu instead...we can now report he has returned to the land of the living.

Saint Paul - Macalester International Potluck 2011

It was a busy week and much effort to get all schedules coordinated to be ready for the Mac Potluck.
Petar and I made a few stops but finally found the right beans and were ready to go - until Tennis got in the way. We have beans but the match got in the way and we missed out on cooking up our Serbian dish - but P won both of his matches. And was able to join us for the eating - and did his best to make sure that every bowl was empty before the event was over.
Danny and Davide shared the stove once again and we left the house smelling great as we headed off to Macalester.
Biggest crowd in my 7 year experience with the program...so that much more to try as well.
Enjoyed a table with several other families that included Cambodia, Vietnam and Macedonia. Plenty of great conversations about the world.

Stillwater MN - 2011 Birthday celebrating again

For the past 21 years, when I have been in town, Margie, Jimbo, me, sometimes Dan Sandor and often others have gathered to celebrate Dan and my birthdays.
We gathered once again on a day where the cold finally broke, the sun came out and everyone was ready for some laughs and celebrating - and multiple choice desserts!
Always something new to make each year a memory of its own. This year we had a moonlight walk on the lake to check out the local ice fishermen as well as glasses for slicing onions and another pop-up book with "even more celebrity" meltdowns. And don't want to forget "strike anywhere matches" for Petar at his first year joining the party.
Lucille has been celebrating her birthday for a month and finished up with another celebration with Dan, Davide and Dennis.
