An Exciting Night in the Still Water

Wendy hosted this week at the new Shanghai Bistro in downtown Stillwater with a special guest, Elizabeth, from Wendy's work. Shanghai Bistro has an amazing patio and dueling pianos on Wednesday nights. The combo made for a great night. The food was good and the wine servings were large which we always love, especially for $7 a glass. If you do make it to this restaurant, we suggest hitting up the happy hour! Wendy and Stephanie both tried sake for the first time and both really liked we. It is kind of like a martini, straight alcohol and deliciousness!!!

Steph and Wendy trying Sake!

Menage a Trois and Croissants

This Wednesday was a beautiful day! Perfect weather for sitting outside. 80 degrees, sunny and a light breeze to keep the moscitos away! This WWN was hosted at Stephanie's so that she could finally cook for the ladies. Yummy chicken salad, croissants and chips for dinner with delicious fruit Popsicles for dessert. Red and white wines consumed. The favorite was a red wine called "Menage a trois." ;-)

Quotes from the evening

Birthdays and Life Celebrations

WWN was hosted at Stephanie's this week due to her healing needs after surgery. The baby cyst, Cystella, was born on 6/6/11 at 13 pounds. Mother is doing well and healing nicely. We celebrated both Wendy & Betsy's June 30th birthdays. 

Happy Birthday Wendy & Betsy!!

Alyssa brought tator-tot hot dish for the main course, Wendy made a yummy salad high in iron ;), Katelyn brought cheesecake for dessert and everyone brought wine of course. 

Quotes to be forthcoming...

Friday night that week we also celebrated Betsy's birthday at the Toby Keith I Love This Bar in St. Louis Park.


Happy Birthday Betsy!!



Summer Begins at Betsy's

This Wednesday we had build your own salads at Betsy's with ice cream cones for dessert. We ladies discussed plans for Wendy's 30th Birthday Camping weekend at Afton State Park and Stephanie's upcoming surgery on June 6th. The rest to be filled in ....... :-)

There was some white boarding happening. That is just how crazy we girls get sometimes.

Pot Luck and Great Friends

This week was a tough week for the Wednesday Wine Night ladies, especially Stephanie. On Monday Stephanie found out that she has a large ovarian cyst that needs to be surgically removed within the next few weeks. Since mid-April Stephanie has had sharp pain in her abdomen and started going to the doctor about it early May. Finally after a CT Scan, the 28cm x 27cm x 16cm cyst was found. It has been growing fast and furious in her abdomen.

Stephanie was on schedule to host WWN this week, but hadn't been up to shopping or cooking. Great friends are always there when you need them the most! These four ladies are so special to me (Stephanie) during this scary time. I asked them to all bring something to share instead of me cooking and they all came through and we had a very delightful meal. After dinner of chicken, potato salad, fruit and salad, we enjoyed a Mackereth home video of Betsy & Stephanie dancing at 5 years old. For dessert we had strawberry rhubarb crisp and vanilla ice cream. And of course lots of wine was consumed! :-)

It's times like these that we are reminded why it is so important to have great friends who are there for you!

Barbecue & Birthday

Katelyn and Peter hosted co-ed WWN for Katelyn's Birthday. They barbecued skewers and veggies, served with fresh fruit and pasta salad. Lots of wine consumed. The end.

Cuatro de Mayo!

It's a fiesta! Wednesday Wine Night is on Cuatro de Mayo and Wendy served us burritos and margaritas to celebrate. We were missing Katelyn, but we were able to Skype with her.

Quote
"Get off your phones and interact with me"
"I think we should all Skype into WWN"
"Did he say he wanted to date you?  No, he just wanted to hang out with me a lot of times."
"You can't say rash when you are talking about cock."
"It makes the wine go further...?"
" I would like my kid to have 6 letters in her name, so her name is Thmuba"
"I would totally help you make a ship around your hot tub!"
"Ya, she's got big ones."
"He can't blow your driveway out or anything."

Ole!
