Elegance

The weekend was great! We were in Hudson for our Grandchildren’s dance recital. Both Grandchildren were in the recital and each of them were in quite a few of the performances. Skylar had his solo he has been doing at competitions and will be doing at the national competition in Las Vegas in July. He also had a new solo in a new routine his group did to the song “I Love Paris”. It was very good, and one of our favorite routines. This is one that they will perform in their competitions for the upcoming “competition season”. Madelyn, Skylar and their Mother were kept very busy, as there was a recital on Friday night (which we attended) then also one Saturday afternoon and Saturday night! By the end of Saturday night they were pretty tired! We really enjoyed the recital, and even my husband, who isn't the type to like recitals, enjoyed it!

On Saturday we went to a wedding in Minneapolis of the son of good friends. Their son also was one of our youngest son’s best friends; they went to school together and played baseball together for many years. Scott was in the wedding. It was such a beautiful, elegant wedding. The most elegant wedding and reception that we have ever been to! The wedding ceremony was beautiful, with bouquets of summer flowers, and great music. The elegant reception was at a country club that the majority of us can never afford to be members of. It was really something, from the h’dorves, champagne, sea bass & filet mignon meal with all the trimmings, to dancing to a 12-piece band that took no breaks, to the cheeseburgers that showed up at 10:30 pm! It was definitely an affair to remember!

On Sunday we celebrated our daughter’s birthday. Her husband is a great cook (I’m sure I told you this before), he cooked her favorite meal and it was a great topping off to a fun weekend.

It rained all day on Saturday in Duluth. It was in the 70’s in Hudson and Minneapolis, beautiful, warm and sunny. On Sunday it got cooler in Hudson, it was 59 degrees when we left at 3 pm, and 39 degrees when we hit Duluth. Our son told us that there was white on the ground when he got up that morning! (and it wasn't white flowers from a tree either!) What a change!
