Day 27 — Lake Elmo, MN
A great day for a party!!! And a little time off. The weather was sunny and comfortable–even balmy. Some of the family took off for Taylor’s (Katie’s younger brother) soccer game after breakfast. The Sly home is on a lake and the back yard leads down to its edge. I spent time in a swing facing the water and watched snowy egrets fish and fight for territory and 3 families of Canadian geese travel to “my” end of the lake to feed. Up the hill behind me preparations were ongoing for the anticipated party. By the time I gave up the swing, platters of fruit, pita bread, gyro meat and fixings plus salads etc were arranged. Pretty good timing.
The party itself was really nice. A mixture of adults and young people. Apparently several grads were having parties today. By evening the front yard was full of young people playing soccer (sort of), throwing frisbees, sitting around and talking. The adults didn’t get to far away from the food area. As predicted, the weather began to change and by late evening a tornado warning was posted. For awhile the wind blew and it rained hard. The good thing was that bad weather had been predicted for the day but held off until the party goers had had the chance to party hardy. The rain, lightning, thunder and wind brought the day to a close.
