Who's in town this week?
My sister, Kelly, is staying with us, and hopefully enjoying her second annual Minneapolis trip.
And guess who else?
My Mom.
No kidding.
This is some big news.
Meryl and I tried to get Louderhorn Inn ready for their arrival on Saturday, but there were some serious forces working against us.
Like the United States Postal Service, basic plumbing, Mother Nature, and some other stuff.
The fun started on Friday, when Meryl called me at Identity Tattoo to tell me that not one hour after giving Shamira a bath, the postman also decided to shower her.
In the face.
With Mace.
Once they arrived, though, things have gone pretty smoothly.
There's a slight aroma of pepper in the air, but we haven't been home too much to enjoy it.
We hit the Farmer's Market after breakfast today to reap some of what other people sowed.
Visited the sculpture garden on the way home, cooked a big meal with all of the fresh ingredients, and then went out to the mill ruins and the Guthrie for a play.
Nothing says family time better than the endearing dialogue of Oscar Wilde.
Today was a Full Harvest Moon.
Did you see it?
The clouds broke this evening, and by night the entire sky was clear.
We got a perfect view from the Guthrie's endless bridge of the moon, the Mississippi River, and some historical landmarks.
It was a nice ending to the second day of their visit.
Tomorrow we head to Stillwater for some serious mantiquing and continuous eating.
