Pirates & Ladies & Kids & Musicians & more….

Last week it was hot (again), and one day I'd just had "enough" so I decided to do an "inside activity" that I'd been waiting on Jeff to do… but he just hadn't been interested enough to make it a priority… so last week I went alone to check out the latest special exhibit at the Minnesota Science Museum… Pirates!!  Enjoy these images for what they are:

It was a beautiful day, so I took these pics from a balcony at the Science Museum of the Mississippi River waterfront in St Paul:

I also had the chance to join a few friends for dinner last week, the ladies from my small group went to eat at Salut in St Paul.  We had a wonderful time visiting, eating, sharing updates from prayer requests & new requests… what a blessing to be able to come together in camaraderie in the name of Christ!!  I took this picture from the menu, this sounds like a great idea for a group dinner… Mmmm…

Family-style Prime Rib Dinner for 8-10

We had a family Birthday celebration last week as well… two sweet little girls turned 2 years old… our niece Callie & her cousin Lexi.  It was at Davanni's with Pizza & Pop & Cheesy Bread & Cake… and a Piñata as well!!

Enjoying the "loot"...

We enjoyed a picnic dinner & live outdoor concert for our Date Night last week, our friend Lew plays in a Latin Fusion band, FUGA… What a nice relaxing fun evening!!

As if the week hadn't already been eventful, we were celebrating a special weekend because of our Anniversary… but that's just too much to add to this post… so that will be another post (stay tuned)…
