Sauk Centre & Lasagna

Mom & I had a shopping day in Sauk Centre!

I wore this dress (Emma & Michele) with this bag (Betsey Johnson).

And these shoes (Aerosole).

Cora loves "Grandpa Peas" (= fresh peas from Grandpa's garden)

and these empty pods were everywhere on the ground. 

Cora got a new "bike" to ride - it's called a "Fly Bike".

Here's part of Main Street!

Supposedly, this hotel is haunted.

Mom found a necklace. 

I love all the little signs.

And these socks made me LOL.

Pretty and creative displays:

LOVE this hand soap dispenser;

I hope my Jesus Germs get everywhere!

Little fluffy clouds over Main Street.

Eek!  There's a car coming out of the wall!

 Pretty steeple:

After my parents bought their cabin in Sauk Centre, they learned that my Mom's mother had grown up nearby and was married in the town - probably at this building (or its predecessor).

The day of the wedding, it hailed, and my Grandpa's soft-top for his convertible was destroyed.

For a year, while they saved up money to replace it, they drove with open umbrellas on rainy days!

Beautiful farmland

The bridge over the neck of the lake:

The Sumac is turning bright red already.

It usually doesn't turn red until FALL, so this is a little scary for Minnesotans!

It is usually green in summer, like this:

Dad was fixing on some stuff out by the shore while the girlies took their nap 

in the afternoon:

I went out kayaking again.

When I cut up my apple for an afternoon snack, the knife was surprisingly quick and sharp, and I sliced my finger.  Mark & Jillian talk frequently about being careful with knives, so when Cora hear that I had cut myself, she said, "Auntie Christie isn't very careful with knives!"

I assembled our lasanga for the following evening in stages.

Ready to percolate until oven time tomorrow!

It was another lovely day!
