Monday - We were off to the Coffee Emporium for light breakfast and then drove onto Mendota. It was a pretty day and we got the car washed in Peru and then promptly drove past a farmer along the highway really stirring up the dust! Ha...
Stopped at Bob and Linda's. unloaded some stuff and then we 4 went to El Zarape for lunch with the Sublettians . Been 2 1/2 years since we were together so....it was really fun to yak and yak over delicious margaritas, lunch and dessert. Some of our long-time former classmates and friends came and a real surprise as we had not seen them in a very long time!
Said our good byes and so appreciated Marilyn putting this together and I was really happy that we were back in the area to join in the fun.

Stopped in Sublette beforehand to visit Mom and Dad's grave and check out the pretty spring bouquet which the local florist delivers 3x a year.

We said our good byes and Mark and I drove back to Bob and Linda's. LOTS of hugs today with the Sublettians and family.
Tuesday - Linda had a yummy breakfast of sausage/egg/cheese casserole, coffee cake and fruit. She and I went to Princeton for some shopping, coffee at The Bean Bizz and on home. No major purchases but fun to check out these cute shops. Bob and Mark drove around the country checking out the farm, etc. Rained a little on the way back to Mendota. Much cooler today.
Frankie is ONE today!
