Tuesday - May 28

Hello from Mendota......we took off this morning for town and  several errands.    Picked up Liam and Connor and took them to Olive Garden for early lunch.

  I had noon dentist appointment (got my temporary crown) and then we were off to Mendota.    Drove thru some heavy rain.

Stopped at the Lutheran Home to see my cousin Jim.    Then to Bob and Linda's - settled in and  visited.   Bob and Mark picked up Aunt Marian around 4:30 and then cousin Dick and Mary arrived.    So fun being together, catching up over drinks and yummy appetizers.    Then a great "comfort" dinner of mini meat loaves, baked potatoes, green beans, layered lettuce salad, fresh fruit and tah dah, raspberry truffle pie with chocolate drizzle and fresh raspberries.    Wonderful!

Dick and Mary left and we played euchre with Aunt Marian and Linda beating Mark and me 2 out of 2.

And then the rain came...the guys took Aunt Marian home and we hunkered down for the night.

Tomorrow we 4 are off to Racine and Lake Geneva for some retail therapy and good eating.
