I just got back from a three day weekend in Minneapolis. My daughter moved out there a year ago, and this was my first visit. What a nice city! She and her partner just bought a little house there in a modest tree-lined neighborhood. They'll be there for at least five years while he's working on a Phd. at the University of Minn. I helped her plan out the fixes that the house needs; we planted a bunch of spring-flowering bulbs and painted the front door bright red, contacted some tradesmen to get the ball rolling. She appreciated having her folks there to see the house and support her in getting started with a few important improvements.

I also got to meet up with Lady in Denim, which I've already journaled about - What a treat!

I ate two meals out and a Sunday supper in - all wonderful food - all of which took me off my WOE somewhat. I didn't binge, but I will need to settle back in for the week. I did eat some corn chips in front of the TV during that edgy presidential debate - that was the only true food mistake of the weekend! That was nervous, irrational eating - during a national nervous and irrational moment! I did get in some good walking each day. Minneapolis has lovely parks and trails.
Glad to be home and back on track with my food routine. It was great to see my daughter (and my FS buddy!) I had an absolutely lovely trip!
