On Sunday around 3:30 pm, I drove to Edina to have dinner at Maggie and Katie's apartment. When I walked in the door, Maggie and Katie both greeted me with a hug and invited me in to the living room. To my surprise, as I peeked around the corner, I saw Dina, Ryan, Mary, Sara, Jon, and Brian. It was a surprise going away party! I was so thrilled to see everyone and greeted them with hugs.
In addition to the fabulous friends present, Maggie had prepared a smörgåsbord of food--red and white wines, strawberries and grapes, shrimp wrapped in bacon, chips and layered taco dip, homemade brownies--that was all delicious. It was an enjoyable afternoon spent in good company and a very pleasant surprise. I got to say farewell to everyone, which I wasn't sure would be possible, given the short time I have left here in the States. So, I am very thankful.
