A couple of hot Octogenarians visited the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum today to celebrate Bonnie's graduation into the prestigious 80-years-young category. The afternoon included lunch, and a three-mile drive through the fall blooms and seasonal exhibits, from pumpkin wagons to scarecrows, and, of course, the spectacular Arboretum forest stock. They've been pals since 1978, when they met at a local watering hole, and worked together for a short time. Bonnie is a long-time member of the Arboretum and brought Kathleen as a guest today.
Fun Footnote: Bonnie and Kathleen were both scheduled for hip surgery on May 3, 2021. Bonnie went ahead as scheduled; Kathleen broke her neck on May 1 and was also in surgery on May 3, but not for hip replacement. Kathleen wins the hardware derby, has a steel knee, hip and neck.
