Weekend and more.

We had a chance to watch Marcus and Maggie for a few hours on Sunday. It was a nice day to head to the park.


We also got to see Ryan S. You got to like the Santa hat.



Ran into sister's Karin and Karla at Mexican Village last week.

Here is Jo this summer holding one big pencil!

IMac ect...

I've been a bit slow on the post's this month. Not much exciting going on. We have been up to Langdon a few more times.

Missed deer hunting (but I was with my dear) for the first time since George H. Bush required my services for the first Gulf War. The closest I got to any action was when we were cruising on the surface in the Gulf of Thailand and I got to stand topside on Pirate watch. I'm not sure how a pirate would take over a Submarine.

Dad had some skin cancer (the good kind they called it) removed from his forehead last week.

I picked up a new IMac computer on Saturday. Got home and set it up only to discover that the screen was cracked. Talk about a bummer. Took it back to the Bookstore and will have to wait a week or so for a new one.

I'll have to look for some photos to post later.

Dinner at 'l Bistro Mediterranean Eatery

On Nov 3rd we ate at the 'l Bistro Mediterranean Eatery at the Canad Inn in Grand Forks.

Jo had the Portobello Ravioli
(Ravioli stuffed with wild mushrooms, tossed in a rich alfredo sauce topped with diced tomatoes.)



I had the Frutti de Mare
(Mussels, shrimp, and calamari on linguine noodles tossed in your choice of pesto cream or marinara sauce.) I had the marinara sauce.


We enjoyed our meals. On Tuesdays the have a Pasta Party Special. You can get a Bistro Size Pasta for the 1/2 order price! This always gives us enough for lunch the next day.

Halloween in Langdon

We spent Halloween weekend in Langdon.

After a week of cloudy weather the sun decided to poke through the clouds.


I failed to get any trick or treat photos. Bummer! Reese was a chicken, Hayden was a Dirt Biker, Marcus was a star wars action figure, Jakob was the evil emperor and Maggie was a kitty cat. Jo and I were scarecrows.

On Halloween morning we went over to check out the demolition of a hotel in Langdon. Dane Witzel made it look pretty easy moving the backhoe around.


Plenty of supervision on the job!
