Easter Weekend
I had a very good weekend. The hubby & I went with another couple to their family's from Thursday evening-Sunday morning, & we had a great time. The cabin is in Garrison, MN, on the NW shore of Mille Lacs Lake. We played lots of Settlers of Catan & also watched quite a few movies. The nicest thing of the weekend was that we didn't have to do ANYTHING. We could laze around in PJs all day if we wanted...and did until noon on Saturday!
Friday, the four of us went to a museum ran jointly by the MN Historical Society and the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwa. It was basically a look at the history of the Ojubwa in the region. It was very well done, and we all enjoyed the visit. I didn't really learn anything new, but it was still good to get previous knowledge cemented & validated.
We watched 4 movies that included a couple independent films that I'll have to write up a review for since they were...interesting. The Independent with Jerry Stiller & Janeane Garofalo & Perfume: The Story of a Murderer with Alan Rickman, Dustin Hoffman & starring Ben Whishaw as Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (a VERY CREEPY man with a VERY SENSITIVE nose). So stay tuned for those reviews! :)
We got home early Sunday (around 2:00) so I volunteered to go over and help Liz prep her house to be invaded this week. She's going to have 8 overnight guests (I think...if not more) for her wedding Friday. spot1111 & I helped clean the kitchen and do other small tasks like dusting. It was a good time to get together with a couple other women & do good work for a good friend. :)
