A First for Emma Today!

Today was a busy day for us - Judy and I worked this morning and then she did laundry after lunch (in case you are wondering this was not a first for Emma!!).
Later today we drove to Lake Benton where my cousin Gary and his wife Shiryl live.  They have something on their property that we cannot find in Texas:

"RHUBARB"

We met Shiryl at their house and cut some rhubarb - some for us and some for this weekend in Minnetonka.

Anyway, Emma jumped right in and started cutting stalks along with Grandma and Shiryl.

We got what we needed and then drove back to the CG and cut up the rhubarb:

Grandma washed the rhubarb and Emma and I put it in bags.  

Emma was a big help so we treated her to supper at Lange's Cafe.  This cafe opened in 1956 by the Lange twins and is still run by the family.

Last week when we were here, Emma wanted breakfast even though it was supper time so she got pancakes.  She liked them so much that she got them again tonight.  She only stopped long enough for me to take a picture.  There wasn't much left when she was done.

Tomorrow we leave for Minnetonka and will be at Pam and Steve's for the weekend.  Julie will fly in on Saturday night and then Sunday night she and Emma will fly back to Dallas.

It has been a great pleasure having her here and she will be missed!!
