the remaking of a kitchen

when the mafiosa meet we often speak of jean. i think it would please jean to know that we continue to meet and have become better friends since her death. i knew jean and i knew tressa, but the other three, carol, sally and maureen have also become important friends. i can honestly say that there is no way i would have met them if not for jean. how amazing and what a wonderful legacy of friendship and connection she has left the five of us!
we religiously meet each month which of course is much better than jean and i managed those first few years. this coming december lunch will include our white elephant exchange and will be much fun and we will again think of jean!

today was lunch day for the mafiosa 2. we were at the dock cafe in stillwater and as always it was the greatest fun. we had a window table and were able to watch an absolute downpour. it made us feel absolutely brilliant the we had chosen to eat inside rather than the outside that was offered! i love that place any time of the year....it is always a brilliant scene watching the st croix river flow by the cafe. it was a little late for fall color, but still quite beautiful!
