3 robins

I heard a loud robin this morning as I was eating breakfast. Brad and I saw it. Walking to school I saw a robin and then walking home, I saw another. Spring is coming!

Enjoying a beautiful full moon and wearing my new to me Mankato State University sweatshirt. 

back to the classroom

I’m so lucky to be a teacher! I really have spectacular students and coworkers. Also got to see the full moon on my way over to work out tonight. Spring is on its way. 

home again

Mom was released from the hospital today. I hope she is comfortable and doesn’t get too confused. So may things have changed in the past two weeks and dementia is so challenging. I was able to get home and get a workout in! 

hello March!

The temperature was cold here in Mankato, but the sun was shining all day. I started the day at the church where my grandparents were married and ended swimming in the hotel pool. 

In between time with Mom, Kim, Kyle, Kurt, Katie, Christian, Molly and Siri. 

Lunch with Katie and Christian at Buffalo Wild Wings then to the mall where we ran into Molly and Siri. 

Hospital with K, K, K & Mom. Dinner with Kurt (he treated at Culver’s. 

Mom’s looking better today. It’s really wonderful getting to spend time with her. 

so long February

So we’re wrapping a month with a lot of traveling. Heading to the cabin, coming down to Mankato two weekends in a row and going to basketball games, hosting Bunco and Brad traveling for work. 

Today I went to my friend Teri’s 60th birthday party and then came down to spend the weekend with Mom as she’s in the hospital. Brad and Osten came down earlier today. Mom slept most of the day so I hope she sleeps well tonight
