Dave and Jane did the charitable thing a few weeks back and bid on an Oak Ridge Conference Center brunch package at the St. John's Lutheran fundraiser. They won it. But the big winners were Kathleen and Stan, who were invited to join them today for a fabulous spread of mid-day delights at this wonderful retreat in the heart of Chaska.It was leaked to Alex the waiter that both couples would be celebrating their anniversaries this month, so while we were loading up on fruits, salads, fishes, roast beef, sausage, omelets, potatoes, fine cheeses, sweet breads, desserts and every other kind of good thing you can spread on a premium buffet table, some talented kitchen staff member was squeezing out personalized anniversary wishes for both couples in a fine chocolate cursive. Nice touch.
Needless to say, we had a wonderful time, laughing and stuffing ourselves, grateful to our good hosts, the Chases, who were our next-door-neighbors when we lived in Chaska. . . and they still talk to us anyway.
Thanks, Dave and Jane!
