On a recent quick trip, we had a lunch stop in White River Ontario. I had heard the story before about the connection to this little town and Pooh Bear!

Hastings Minnesota
A couple of years ago we decided that when we visited Minneapolis, we would stay the the smaller towns in the outlying areas. I am so not a big city girl. When we discovered Hastings I fell in love! This visit we stayed in Cottage Grove (I just love the name!) and visited Hastings.
I found some treasures at a shop there but only indulged in one small piece of Pyrex. The one I bought is no in this picture but I will share later. I bought the small friendship casserole with the printed lid!
How cute is this table and chair set, thankfully I already have one very similar.
Here is the sweet little piece I added to the collection
Rauma
We went out for dinner in Rauma and Erik’s cousin Erikki said we’d go out for Kebabs. I thought we we’re going to have shish kabobs. Not quite
That is all finely sliced beef under the pita like bread and salad on the side. I was never really sure of what I was ordering…..sometimes I was suprised.
This dinner was really good but enough food to serve my family for supper!
Erikki’s son Patrick had just come from soccer practice and happily ate everything on his plate and helped another cousin finish eating hers.
after dinner we went for a walk around town and came across this site
From a distance it really did look like women that were swimming in the canal! It turned out they were very realistic statues.
a few after diner drinks…
