MN Chill 10/20

Saturday morning weather is 37 degrees and foggy, but not too foggy to see the turkeys come into the backyard. After a leisurely start to the day, we go to a favorite breakfast place for brunch. With my eggs I have their Italian hash, a scrambled mixture of hash browns, Italian sausage, onions, mushrooms, green pepper, and tomatoes.

In the afternoon younger granddaughter has a playdate at a friend's house, and older one shops with daughter and me to buy some school clothes for cooler weather. When together again in the back seat they pretend to sleep and be too tired to go anyplace but home. Sun comes out for backyard sports and fun and feels good on our faces.

We have an early dinner out at a familiar restaurant that offers refillable bowls of fresh popcorn as soon as we sit down. Big mugs of beer on tap soon follow for us adults. I order a salad with grilled chicken and wild rice, a delicious new combination for me. There's homemade apple pie with ice cream at home but we are too stuffed.
