Busy Letnes Weekend

Buff and hearty, Stan's nephew, Downtown Steve Letnes, walked his lovely girlfriend, Hannah, through the Minneapple Friday, along with his pleased Mom and Pop.

That was one of many family activities the Letneses enjoyed this weekend, and included a visit to party with Our Mother of Alexandria, along with Nancy and Steve and Michelle (with mom at left).

Here's a nice email Linda found time to send out this morning:

Hi Stan,

The week-end is only half over, but we have some pictures to share.

On Friday, Ron and I drove downtown to our son Steve's apartment where we parked the car. We walked down Nicollet Ave with Hannah and Steve to the Sculpture Garden just across from the Walker Art Center. Great walk, great talk. The weather couldn't have been nicer.

While we got a shot of Hannah and Steve at the "Cherry and the Spoon", we made sure that we found the sculpture where Shana and Erik were engaged. Ron and I are in front of that one.

We wandered through the flowers at Loring Park, lovely, and then found the dandelion fountain near the Hyatt on our walk back to Steve's apartment.

We spent the rest of the afternoon and evening with Shana, Erik, Anja, and Milla. Good family time. We look forward to Hannah's next trip from Boston.

Saturday Ron and I drove to Alexandria for Mom's 89th birthday where we met Steve and Nancy at Clearwater. It was such fun seeing them again, certainly not enough time to visit. Michelle came over after we had had lunch and the six of us went off to the VFW for Iver's party.

At 90, Iver was manning the guest book and greeting all his guests. Iver calls Mom his "twin sister" though he is older by exactly one year. It was fun to see Brian and Blaine again after more than 50 years. It was a week-end for family, for remembering, and it's not over yet!

Love, Linda
