I just got back from Stillwater with my mom. We ate at The Dock. Delicious.

We both agreed that today is as beautiful as it gets in Minnesota-- as perfect as possible. It was sunny, with a slight breeze, and 75 degrees as we sat and watched the boats go under the lift bridge every half an hour. I love artichoke ramakin... and want to find a recipe for it. I also had scallops, which grossed mom out, of course.

Being in Stillwater made me think of Lee, and wonder how he is. I got a phone call from Ell in Europe. I should call him tomorrow.

I leave for Buenos Aires in exactly a week to visit Mike. I can hardly wait.
