Another trip to "Jenny's Place"

We met up with one of my Grandmother's friends while we were there this time. He says he still thinks of the place as "Jenny's Place". It sounds nice. Not sure what we'll end up calling it. It's always "Gramma's House" to me, but Jenny's Place is good.
                   
                                      Grass is green, green, green-And LONG!
                                                 White birch in the green now
                                                    Nelsons' farm bursting lilacs!
                                                   Nothing like spring green!
                                                     Down to the picnic place at Roger's
                                                  Jessica getting that hotdog just right
                                                     Lanae and Melanie chillin'
                                               Farmers thankful for Sunday rest!
                                              Monday Melinda, Joel and Mom came to keep me company. We loved our evening bonfires!
                         Joel rode his bike 57 miles from Finlayson to Duluth. He's finished here and getting a much-enjoyed burger from the Sunshine Cafe!
                                          Lake Superior!
                                                Looking down on Duluth and over to Lake Superior
                                     Just don't get enough lilacs! Spring went backwards the farther north we went!
                                     First iris to bloom at "Jenny's Place"!

Minnesota May

When all three kids were home we decided to make a quick trip up to Minnesota to visit "our" house, our family and our Johnson friends.

 Pale green of spring touches trees and grass.
 Lilacs were just beginning to bloom!
                                                                  Symmetry
                                         Linnea got to the top! Yikes! It was turned in the original.
                                           Gracie found a kitten!
                                             Linnea and Corinne glad to catch up again!
                                            Two old sailors picking up where they left off.
                                               Great smile from Will!
                                              Our military boys. Andrew and Avery.
For dinner that day we met up with Drew in Des Moines! Old friends are sweet!
