A couple of days ago, Dale came home with an amazing story about San Fran. He'd been tuning a piano at Nielson's, & when he arrived Laurie couldn't wait to tell him about their trip to SF. She decribed the place they stayed and what the scenery looked like around S.F. and the quaint little restaurant that was having a wine tasting event.
At the wine tasting event, Dave & Laurie were directed to a table that had other visitors from Minnesota...& of course, conversation started with where people were from. And, the most amazing thing happened...they were sitting with Pete & Nancy!

I was going to write about this, but it slipped my mind!
Our hotel had a daily wine social from 5-6 pm. On our first day there we befriended the host, Thomas, and had a nice time talking with him. I didn't see him on Friday, but Saturday he was back serving wine again. When we were filling our glasses he mentioned that a group of 4 women standing nearby were also from MN, though he said they told him "not to tell anybody."
Soon enough, the 8 of us were standing around chatting about home. It seems three of the women were having 50th birthdays so they decided to come to San Fran to celebrate. We talked, and found out that there was a Bemidji connection. So I started naming relatives, going "Do you know so and so?" and they did the same thing. When I mentioned Dale's name, Laurie said "You mean the one who tunes pianos? He's coming to my house on November 4!"
It was very fun, and they were all great ladies. Laurie wrote my name down so she could impress Dale. It is indeed a small world.
