Minnesota Loves Il Volo…Again

One of my favorite things to do is feature your wonderful stories and pictures! Here’s the latest from our Minnesota Ladies. A more fun and dedicated group you will never find. Go Jane (MaryJane)!

Hi Crew,
Well, the Minnesota delegation from the Flight Crew just HAD to get together one more time before the snow starts piling up around here making it difficult to maneuver around the state. All but Dorothy, whose family plans changed at the last minute, were able to make it. We missed Dorothy and look forward to seeing her next time around.
Suzy was our gracious hostess once again. We spent Friday evening catching up on each other’s life events since we last met.

 It seems every time we get together our bond of friendship grows deeper and deeper. On Saturday, we all met up and had lunch at Buca di Beppo’s, a wonderful Italian restaurant.

Being this was the day after Halloween, Joyce and Bonnie still had their costume masks on and made a grand entrance!

They looked stunning! Had great food and kept the place lively with lots of laughter to go around. Spent the rest of the day back at Suzy’s watching a few DVD’s (I am guessing you know who was starring in them), playing once again IL VOLO PICTIONARY and an IL VOLO version of POP THE QUESTION.

Bonnie brought along a delicious bottle of Prosecco Frizzante for us to try which went very well with the Tiramisu Mary had brought back from the restaurant. And of course, Nutella made it’s appearance paired with a slightly spicy/salty cracker from Joyce. Was a real tasty combination. Parted our ways Sunday afternoon with a warm glow in our hearts and an ever lasting love for three young men who changed our lives and brought us together in love and friendship.

Looking forward to the day other members of our wonderful site can join us!!

A note from Mary (Mary Bohling) on the subject:

Hi,
Just a note about our fun Il Volo weekend. I know that Jane wrote about it, so I won’t need to go into detail. But it was just so great to spend the time talking about our guys with others who feel the same way we do…something we can’t do with other friends who just don’t understand. We can be as outrageous as we want, and everyone loves it. It was so much fun watching the first DVD and then the latest one back to back and noting the changes.  Having a non-stop Il Volo conversation for the weekend made them seem so close—“so near, and yet so far”  ha ha.   We just want you all to share our fun as much as possible.

Anne (my daughter) is saying that we are going to Italy next summer. Never too late to dream, right?

Lots of IV ♥ Mary
