Winter weekend with friends

Geoff, Ellie, Penny, and Pat arrived on Friday afternoon. After a dinner of hors d'oeuvres, Penny and Ellie worked on Saturday morning's brunch.




Penny and Ellie bundled up on Saturday afternoon and walked for an hour in -10ºF temperatures. They returned with pink cheeks and cheery dispositions.


Bob filled the hot tub on Thursday night and started stoking the fire. By Saturday afternoon it was HOT. Ellie, Pat and Penny tried to get it but at 110º it was not to be. Later, Ellie and Peggy managed to get in when it had cooled down to 104! Divine with an outside temp of -10ºF.




We pulled out our laptops on Saturday and worked on organizing our various photo collections. For dinner, Bob roasted a pork roast on the grill. After dinner we watched The Last Waltz, a documentary about The Band. Oh, those folks looked so young in 1976. Did we look like that too?

At breakfast, after a techy weekend, we decided to do a video for UTube with which to impress our children. However, we encountered obstacles. We'll keep trying...


Geoff, claiming luddite status, worked on Sunday's Sudoku puzzle. He also tried to teach Peggy how to pronounce sudoku correctly!


The C O L D temperatures this weekend caused a couple of problems. Colin, Geoff, and Bob responded to a furnace problem at the Breyers. When Geoff and Bob tried to go into town this morning, our car refused to start. Oh, drat. We are waiting for AAA to come to the rescue. We insisted that the others return to Mpls. AAA service is on its way from Siren to help us out.
