My Michael is Being Stalked 'Story'

Hope every ones' Mother's Day was a smashing success.  Hope all who qualify got a gift, a card, a call, or a visit.
We drove through snow and went to Duluth to simply work on projects of home and self improvement and ended up veggin', and (I 'll admit) drinking.  The plans we had for bigger things did not get done. As promised over lunch ("Thank you very much C.C.") I didn't pick up a paint brush. Ron didn't study his catechism either. We were hooked on episodes of "Breaking Bad".
But, alas my partner in crime; the sauna, got lit too!

We managed a 4.5 mile walk down the road Saturday and as the water is very low, walked around the shoreline of Bear Island on Sunday.  Fast forward to today and my personal trainers need to know I am at day 71!    (!#$%^&**&^%$!!!)

Michael's arrival rendered the most amazing "story".  He brought a friend and co-worker who grew up in Eyota, MN (near Rochester) who happened to have met him this spring on the job in MSP: graduated from UMD, used to work at the Red Star Pub in Duluth, and also worked clerically in almost every real estate office in the Twin Ports in 'them-there' college days...and Ya Ya Ya.  Well as part and parcel of his means of impressing her he decides to drive her by "The house where I was raised".   
                                                       TA-DAH!!

She emailed me these pictures.This picture was on her phone. THIS PICTURE WAS ON HER PHONE? On Her Phone? She and Mike hadn't planned this ride to Duluth...Cut to the chase and for those who don't know;  this is the house where Mike was raised.  This is the picture of the house we lived in in Duluth from 1992-2003.  She turned the tables on Mike.  She impressed the sh__ out of him!  Or else she is a STALKER!  (Keep in mind Mike was in La Crosse 2004-2009. Also keep in mind Mike isn't stalking material. Don't forget there are hundreds of these houses in Duluth...Well maybe not hundreds.)

This was also on her phone......................................................and so was this....................................

Where there more than three pictures on this 'stalkers' phone? Yes there were four in total.  The 2nd Place picture has just another house down Fifth Street too.  She is an apparent Art History Major who was intrigued with Duluth Homes.  This was her selection for best Roof Line 2004, 2005, 2006,or 2007.

Well I just had to share that.

Since the girls haven't 'blogged" I will tell you they are both enjoying Josh's return from the field. Meg dropped her iPhone (ca-pute) in the rain but now has a Lan line which works well with Penny Talk. They both are planning to be home in the first part of June. They continue to explore Europe while dodging volcanic ash.
Speaking of volcanic ash: I am told by Meg this winter will be the coldest since the 1814 eruption of some other volcano as this volcanic ash will block the winter sun sooner than later.  Well there's a Google moment.
Goodnight John Boy....
Goodnight Mary Ellen.......
