Busy week!

I have really had a busy week! On Thurs MaryBeth & I went to the casino at Hinckley-just for the day & we both came out ahead which is not usual-so we were both happy! Went to Austin Sat for concert that Janets' Sweet Adeline group were singing. It was really good.And we got to see Linda again and her new car-On Sun we went to Janets & Jerrys for brunch & had a nice visit.And a delicious brunch! On the way to Donnas house we stopped by the Buddhist temple which is by Farmington & Hampton--The address is Hampton. We went inside the temple after asking a man who was doing yard work-(he was Asian & maybe one of the monks) he did not speak English.Inside was altar with a large gold Buddha & vases & flowers & little statues. It is so unusual to see this huge temple in the middle of all the farm land.
On Tues I went on a tour to Duluth & Two Harbors. Tooka bus to Two Harbors where we had lunch & then got on a train which took us back to Duluth. The leaves were great south of Duluth but most of the trees up there on birch or poplar & they were bright yellow Just the sumac was red. It was a long day-Had to catch the bus by Maplewood Mall at 7;15 AM and did not get back until 8PM but I enjoyed the trip.Mary Beth & 4 of her old classmates were on the tour also.
