Our annual visit to MSP wouldn't be complete without a chance to catch up with old high school friends. For the past few years, it's always been a girl's lunch - and a time to get an update on everyone's lives and hear the stories of our classmates. This year, Jane volunteered to play host to a couple's lunch. So, on Saturday afternoon, we loaded the car with some food and wine (and even Chloe!) and headed to White Bear Lake (John is beginning to think that every trip in Minnesota involves a ride either to or through WBL).
Jane and Jim's house is gorgeous! The inside is beautiful (but what would you expect from someone who decorates some of the most expensive homes in the city!) -and the outside---well, it is out of a design magazine! Jane and Jim vacation in Maui every year and they're transformed their backyard into a little bit of Hawaii- complete with pool and a beach! In no time, we'd opened the wine and had settled under their "tiki hut"-- with sand under our feet and Hawaiian music playing in the background. Time flew by - we got caught up on families, kids (now grandkids for Kathy and soon to be for Jane), travels and old friends. Not barely enough time to get cover it all - so
we're scheduled a girl's lunch --the gossip will be flying!
