What a privilege to spend our weekend celebrating with friends.
Birthday Wishes to Kari, our good friend…a sister, a wife,
a mother, and a grandmother.
The four of us were pleased to travel together
and be a part of their Celebration.
A road trip is always more fun with friends.
We got there early...to hang out…out of sight...
to wait and watch for the Birthday Girl.
Kari was surrounded by family, including sister and brother-in-law,
her husband, both daughters, their granddaughter,
us old friends, and some new friends.
Best restaurant in Valley City, Sabir’s.
I ordered the Broiled Walleye and Steamed Green Beans.
I feel healthy, just looking at this meal.
Then, the Birthday Girl was presented
with this slice of Chocolate Cake.
Sooo decadent,
and enough to share around the table.

The Historic President’s Mansion on campus,
is now a Guest Inn for Alumni and Visitors to Campus.
Our friend Alan, or I should say President LaFave
reserved the residence for us to stay overnight.
The parlor was a charming setting for us to enjoy a nightcap
and quiet conversation at the end of our evening.
There are six bedrooms in the House,
each one oozing with vintage charm. This one was my choice.
In the morning, we enjoyed a leisurely coffee,
siting just off the main dining room…
…with a view of the cozy fireplace.
Then, a Sunday Brunch…
We all gathered at the President’s family home.
We enjoyed Egg Bake, Bacon, Fresh Fruit,
and these Caramel Rolls
There’s nothing better than time with family…
…and Sunday Football.
Thank you, Alan and Kari, for a Wonderful Weekend.
We are Blessed.
Take care,
~Natalie
