The Madison Adventure

Sitting at the top of the Concourse Hotel enjoying dessert and drinks with a wonderful view of the capitol!!!

This is how we like to enjoy our breakfast! Fine china, waffles & coffee!

So today started out cold... and then it got colder... and then it got colder! By this evening I was finished!

I'm now going to go find my new fuzzy, warm blanket and cocoon myself into a coma of warmth!

After driving through the crazy snow... I mean, drifting snow... I mean... I mean to say the roads were far from favorable, but I was born & raised in MN so it's gonna take more than a little blowing snow to keep me from driving on the road. But I do believe there are some people who should just hang up their keys and stay home!

Anyhow, I got into Rochester in time to meet up with Jeb for dinner! And it was quite a combination! Sushi & Pie!!! I now love this combination, and will definitely be repeating this again in the future! Anyhow, 3 hrs later we enjoyed some super tasty endamame, green tea, sushi & pie ala mode with good conversation! Now to head to Stewartville in hopes of the roads being better past the airport.

Date night with Otto! I took him to the Melting Pot, and as always, was delicious!!! My favorite courses are still the cheese & chocolate! Yum!

Check it out! They refer to it as the Michael Jackson glove! I feel like I should bedazzle it!

Turns out I need extensive blood work... let's hope I can get in sooner rather than later!!!

So here's a picture of that first attempt at shortbread for the cookie exchange on Dec 18! I just couldn't bring myself to toss it, but Otto mentioned something about it tonight. So I handed him a fork and told him to have at it! A couple jabs later the whole thing popped out!!! I think it will be some time before I attempt shortbread again!
