It's Monday morning and back to work!!! Ken and I had a great week end. Sat. morning we went to the Farmer's Market here in town, and brought the last of the garden plants we wanted. Then we went to a do-it-yourself day at Custom Retaining Walls for lunch (free lunch, since it was a open house type day for them, grilled brats, burger, chips, you know, the usual lunch) and demo on how to install a pond. It's going to be lots of work, may have to think about that for a while yet. They had some specials on flowers, so I got a really nice hanging basket on sale. Then it was back home for some yard work, Ken and I worked in the yard for a couple hours...felt like lots more!!!! Michelle and her children stopped about 5ish, and we started a fire in the back yard. The kids really enjoyed that......I'll have to post pictures of the yummy s'mores they made.
On Sunday morning after church, Ken and I headed to Hastings. We were told about a winery there that Ken wanted to see and check out the wines. After joining the wine club, we did some tasting........it was probably the first time I had dessert wines. One was chocolate!!! The winery was really nice and since they will be having special things going on during the summer, we will probably stop there a couple more times this summer. Then we headed to Eagan to check out a park, very nice park, lots of hiking trails. We only saw a small portion of it, but still we had about an hour walk. The trails are quite primitive, just dirt or grass trails, no paving or mulch. We were able to hike thru forest, pine trees, prairie, grasslands and saw some lakes. It's the type of park Tim and Nancy would enjoy hiking in.
In between we stopped at a couple Walmarts on a mission to find 6" baby dolls for a craft project I have been doing. I finally found some at the Eagan Walmart, so it was a successful day for that. I'll have to post of picture of the project in the next few days.
Finally made it home about 7ish, so it was just sit, relax and off the bed..( so we could get up this morning and go to work).
Hope everyone else had a good week end

Sounds like you had quite a day. On Sunday I went to an 80th birthday open house and had a great time. We sung songs that the party gal grew up with.
Then, after that at 6 p.m. went to church because we had some gospel team of men that came and performed for us. Church was packed! They had been in the cities all weekend at a quartet convention there, and happened to call one of the pastors of our church and were invited to come down since they had some time on their hands before heading on the road again!
Yesterday afternoon while I was at the party, Gabby tilled my garden for the first time and was going to finish up on Monday with the fertilizer, etc. and then probably Tuesday morning I will be heading out to get garden seeds and plants! Lots of work to be done before we head out to Illinois in a couple of weeks.
