MINNEAPOLIS

                               

Nothing was to small or to big for Mary. 

I have never in my life met a person so caring to COMPLETE STRANGERS.

Thanks to Rebecca and Duke - our dear friends who's mother it is.

She showed us the way to walk to most of the shops. That will be our TENSION RELIEVER till we start Mayo.

Saturday evening was a CELEBRATION of another kind. Three friends having their birthdays. Mary turning 71 and you will never say it. Carl 83 and Dick 76. All of the very successful and the WHO'S WHO'S in La Crosse. 

As I said to them in South Africa they will all be BILLIONAIRES.  Dick gave the University where the Symphony is taking place a Million Dollar donation. Americans are very generous towards well-fare. 

Mary went to town with her dinner. The table were stacked with excellent food.

Conversation were filled with laughter. Soon they were all hooked on coming to South Africa. We're going to have a South African "Braai" Sunday with Ken and Ray. Ken was selected as the grade 5 teacher of the year. They own many properties which they're renting out. They're now interested to come to South Africa 2016 and buy some property there.

Texas Steak house was Mary's choice for her birthday. The waiters even did a birthday dance for her.

Big steaks and Sparkling water was what we celebrated on!!
