September 15 - 18, 2009
We arrived at the farm near St. Peter MN about 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday and got right into the visiting for a few hours. Jerry was ready for us because, for the next three out of four days we played bridge for hours on end. The fourth in this endeavor was Ann Rohlfing, who is Kathleen Schmidt’s mom. Both Jerry and Ann play bridge often so we had a wonderful time at cards.
On Tuesday afternoon we played 72 hands of bridge. Lois had the most points but the point spread was very close. Here is the tally: Lois 4,110, George 4090, Jerry 4070 and Ann 3,150.
On Wednesday afternoon we played another 72 hands of bridge and the men took over: George 6,330, Jerry 5,470, Ann 4,860 and Lois 2,700.
On Friday, the ladies took over: Ann 7,390, Lois 5,680, Jerry 5,030 and George 1,910. Ann had a spectacular afternoon of cards. For the three days Ann totalled 15,400, Jerry 14,570, Lois 12,490 and George 12,330.
Each of these bridge parties was followed up with cocktails and dinner. Greg and Kathy came out Tuesday and Friday night and had dinner with us. They were loads of fun. Paul and Kim came to visit and we enjoyed that a lot.
The Penning’s were out Thursday evening for dinner. Daughter Amanda and Hayden (age 6) and Marina (age 4) added a lot of excitement to the evening. We had a special treat on Friday when Adam Schmidt and his girlfriend, Amy, came to visit and learn a little about bridge. Since Adam is Ann’s grandson, it was all a big, happy family.
