Friday morning, we had VIP tour tickets to Paisley Park. What a great tour!! Kim and I had so much fun and it was so interesting! We even got to sit on the Purple Rain motorcycle!. When I get to Annapolis we're going to watch it, Richard has never seen it.
Friday evening Bill and Jan flew in and we met the Stalboerger girls at a nice little restaurant. Judy wasn't there, she and hubby are sick, and Amy didn't come down from Melrose. But Mary and Bill haven't changed, Jean hasn't changed, and Anne looks just the same!
Today we're all meeting for lunch (those of us who aren't sick!), and then Bill, Jan, and I are heading to the lake to stay tonight. Jean said Butch and Al are grilling burgers, and we're having brunch tomorrow.
Lunch at Bello Cucina was so fun. It was the perfect venue, we had the whole place to ourselves. Jean and Anne planned everything, and it was perfect. It was so good to see everyone, and be back together as if we were still kids.
On the way out to the lake, Bill, Jan and I drove around Melrose to find Grandma's house. We were having trouble because there were so many 2nd Streets and Second Avenues. We stopped at one that looked sort of familiar but.... A man was walking his dog and we asked him if he knew if this was Dina Gerding's house. He said he didn't know, but his parents who lived next door might. So we spoke to this wonderful couple - sharp as tacks in their 80s - and he had been Grandma's mailman! He immediately said "126 W 2nd Street " Of Course!! I remembered as soon as he said it. We were on East 2nd. So after a nice chat we drove right to it. What wonderful memories 💕💕
And then, on the way back to Minneapolis, look what I passed!
