happy Mother’s Day!

What a wonderful day! Osten chauffeured Brad and I to and from Grantsburg where we had lunch at the drive in with Betty and Bud. We wished happy Mother’s Day to Betty. Then we got home and Anders and Ally surprised us with a visit. We went to Starbucks for a treat. Lastly the Timberwolves won game 4 of the western conference semi finals so the series is tied 2-2.

a shed is painted

I started the day taking a walk with my friend Petra. We decided my Mother’s Day gift was me painting our little shed. It happened! I love the color, a copy of our friend, Maggie and Hal’s house. Osten and I got some drive time, it was a chilly and beautiful sunny day. I also got all my flowers planted! Very exciting day.

row row row your boat

Today our class went down to the Kinni to watch UWRF art students float their duct tape boats down the Kinni from the Maple Street bridge to the walking bridge. So fun!

cinco de Mayo

I didn’t have any celebratory foods of cinco de Mayo, but I did love watching Osten run the mile and 800 at Menomonie this afternoon.

busy day

Many steps taken today and some home projects started. We’re repainting the back yard shed so Brad and I scraped old paint and Brad power washed. I pulled weeds and reset the rocks around the porch planting area. I planted the May Day flowers I received. I did laundry including getting summer sheets our bed. Lastly I went dancing with Julie and Trish. It was a fun and full day. 






may the 4th be with the Timberwolves
