Another mighty fine day with my mighty fine Colorado friend.
Instead of staying in the Twin Cities we headed down south to The Sister's cabin to say hi (and have a nice solid drive's time worth of catching up). Then we headed into the small town near The Sister's cabin to the most gorgeous store. It's a garden store that has a ton of themed Christmas trees set up with the coolest ornaments.
Then we headed up to another small town where we found a really nice Used and Rare Book store. Sandy found a few old books for her collection. The friendly, but really shy, booktender suggested a tavern for dinner.
The Tavern in Northfield, Minnesota, is set in the cavernous basement of the Archer House Hotel.
Long tables, lots of rooms for private conversations and really good food.
After we ate, we went down a maze of hallways to the bathroom and then went up a back, spiral staircase that landed us right outside the door of the coolest purse and jewelry store.
I bought a bracelet.
Because you know, a gal can never have enough jewelry. Even if she makes it herself.
We got home and were sad to see that the old minivan was still sitting in the driveway. No new Highlander for me.
Thor'd been having trouble taking out my very nice stereo system and putting in one that he purchased at a pawn shop. The Brother was helping him so they finally figured it out. At the same time the car dealership closed.
Bummer.
Tomorrow. Then we'll have a brand new/used vehicle to take to Thor's parents for Thanksgiving.
It was so nice to see Sandy. I needed a good dose of her friendship. She's always there for me.
Now if I can just figure out a way to get her to move back to Minnesota...
