home day

I ended up getting sick last night and most of the day today. I need to make sure I don’t wear myself out. Watched season 3 of Ted Lasso. 

pooped out

Day 2 caught up to me! Feeling a little worn out, but hope to rest very well tonight for Back To School Night tomorrow.

big Lake Michigan

Boy, the more time I spend by water, the more I find it soul filling. We said good bye for now to our Knier friends and big Lake Michigan. Until.next time…

gem of a day

Delicious breakfast, a journey to Milwaukee for tailgating, a Brewers win and then dinner of yummy pizza and dole whip. Now watching Don’t Look Up with Jen, Julia & Osten.

 

first JV game

Osten played his first JV game today. He started and and some nice plays. The Wildcats lost, but it was a fun day. 

our baby girl is brilliant

She came to town yesterday and today she took her entrance exam for the nursing program at Minnesota State Mankato. She scored an 89 which was in the 97th percentile in the US! 

outlaw music festival

Dear friends Kim, Michelle, Sarah and Sarah’s sister and niece all went with me to Willie Nelson’s 93rd birthday celebration at Mystic Lake Casino amphitheater. Amazing weather and music by two of Willie’s sons, the Avett brothers and Willie Nelson. An incredible evening of live music. 

current interests

 Current interests: this new book, Louise Erdrich & Ted Lasso! Also made a really good meal tonight with cod, potatoes, zucchini & cherry tomatoes. Fabulous flavors. 

tools for schools

Tonight I got a chance to volunteer at Tools for Schools. Kids shopped their school supply lists, got a new backpack and pair of shoes. My friend Angie Bond is one of the coordinators—I will be volunteering again in the future. 

moon art finally installed

Today I finally got my moon weaving that was made by my friend Petra installed in our bedroom. I love it!
