At Maggie's in Minneapolis, actually Orono, a Suburb

Maggie invited the girls to come up to Mpls so we flew them up and had a marvelous 2 days.  The girls stayed  after we left, and Neal was in charge of getting them to the airport to fly back to Dallas.   Incredible food by Neal.  Tim, Syrah, Robbie and Evan also there.  Carla taught us all how to make tie-dyed shirts. We stayed at a Renaissance but we do not think it was a Marriott.  Good, tho.

Rabbits do not like the prickly Sweet Gum tree seed pods.
