I was fortunate enough to find myself back in MN this weekend. It was a quick trip to visit with my college girlfriends. We had not seen each other in over a year, so it was definitely time for a visit.
We all met at Cora's home in south Minneapolis and it was like a family gathering with everyone arriving at different times with loud hellos and story telling. After getting out our initial excitement from seeing each other, we piled into the cars and went to St. Kate's. We went to go see an art exhibit, "Breaking the Veils: Women Artists from the Islamic World". It was a very good show - I definitely had a few favorite pieces. More importantly, it was very powerful to see their works, their imagination and creativity, and their brave spirits.
From the depths of this powerful show, we lightened the mood by heading off to Snuffie's for hamburgers and malts. Mmmmmm. I particularly enjoyed my fudge-butterscotch malt. From there we made our way to the Embassy Suites where we checked in for the night. We enjoyed their free happy hour and retired to our room where the girls discussed the book they had read. Apparently there were rather mixed reviews of the book, but it was an intriguing enough discussion that I'm going to read it later this month. I'll let you know my thoughts.
The evening kept on rocking with many board and card games, more storytelling, and belly aching laughter. That is exactly what an evening with good friends should be. So Cora, Erin, Leah, Michelle and Nora - it was so wonderful to see you! Miss you much!
