Another of Scott's Homes on the Web

Woke up this morning, showered, started a load of laundry.

Then iraunink and I headed off to Peking Garden to meet Karen J, Julie J, Julie's Mom, Don B & Margo B for dim sum. As we drove up, we discovered that the Peking Garden has moved - from Washington & University to University & Snelling. Not having Karen's cell phone number, we drove to their new location - where we discovered they're only doing buffet, no dim sum. They have to remodel before they can do dim sum, they plan on having the remodeling done by early December. :-( Everyone finally got there, and we decided we really wanted dim sum, so we went to Jun Bo in Richfield instead. Everyone was very happy with the dim sum at Jun Bo!

After dim sum, iraunink and I went the Minnesota Renaissance Festival. She figured that the last she went was either 22 or 24 years ago, I'm pretty certain the last time I went was on the order of 18 years ago (while I was working graveyard shift at the Minneapolis Plaza / Sheraton Ritz - I picked up Virginia N after work, we had breakfast somewhere down there, and go to the site bright and early). Spent about four hours there - bought some pickled garlic, a new switch plate for iraunink's room, a couple of pewter bookmarks, and a little ceramic bowl for putting q-tips in. We also ran into step-daughter Monica and had a pleasant conversation! Other people we ran into include pegkerr & her family, a co-worker and his family, and miscellaneous other friends - none of whom we knew were going to be there. A successful and fun expedition. We'll go again sometime, probably sooner than 15-20 years!

One of my step-daughters has two Convergence memberships for sale - she's asking $75 for the pair. Please e-mail me if you're interested.
