Wednesday happenings

 I had lunch with Susie a very old friend from a long time ago when we both had small children.   It was good to catch up and give her a hug.  Life throws us curve balls from time to time and it is good to have a friend that you can call anytime night or day.  Anyways we had a great visit with lots of giggles!   It was a girls lunch out as her husband was busy and Far Guy wanted to get some woodcarving time in before the smoke from the Northern Minnesota Wildfires  invaded our area. 

Our Niece Rachael and family left Ely Minnesota when the smoke got heavy and ash began to fall out of the sky.  Pray for rain, a good soaking rain!

Our nephew Jacob and family are here for the summer from Japan. 

Henry is four driving the green car...assisted by his Dad, Jacob. 

What's Cooking?  Nothing...I brought home a burger for Far Guy from the lunch place.

 Minnesota Weather:  High 86F or 30C      Low 66F or 19C We have an air quality alert until Friday.

  1. Oh, I hope you get a good rain soon. Fleta’s grandson had to evacuate in Colorado. Fires were in miles of their house. He brought his wife and two children to Fleta ‘s. They’re staying in the old house we grew up in where Helen lived. He returned as he is in the army. Hopefully, Colorado will get rain too.

    I bet the young man enjoyed the race and Jacob probably loved it more.

    Lunch with your friend was a nice break. Not cooking would be the dessert for me!

  2. I saw on the news this morning that the smoke is causing really bad air quality for most of Minnesota, and lots of other places. How awful for everyone but especially those with breathing issues like FG. Getting together with old friends is a gift isn't it?
