A Sunday

Its amazing how fast these weekends go by. This morning I woke up a bit late, and went to the bank in Uptown in order to pick up the check card I lost on Friday. On Friday I withdrew some money and forgot my card in the ATM machine. On Saturday I was looking for it and realized where I had forgotten it. I was amazed that no transactions were made on my card and that an extremely kind person had turned it in. This is a surprise especially in that area.

Before stopping at the bank, my sisters and walked around Lake Calhoun. While in that area we stumbled across the annual Art Fair that is currently going on. Initially all we wanted was get the famous cheese curds that my friend always praises are "to die for". But as things never go as planned, we ended up spending a lot of time there and actually did not end up getting cheese curds. Instead, we bought other delicious food and I also bought a gorgeous silver and precious stone ring from an artist.

I must say I am amazed at what some people are selling. There was this artist that travels the world and takes photos of places and people. She than sells those photos for an enormous amount of money. Each photo is like 200 bucks. Is that art? I guess that is for everyone to judge for themselves.

When we returned home, my mom and my sisters ended up having a delicious summer lunch on the deck. And I took a picture of a cucumber in my mothers garden. We don't know how it happened that the cucumber grew through the fence, but it definitely made us chuckle.

I also ended up taking a picture of a flower that my mother insists is a rose. I don't think I have ever before seen a rose that consists of two colors. "What's in a rose," right?
