celebrating Loie

Today was a joyful day! Mom was able to travel 1 1/2 hours in her vehicle with Kurt, Kyle and Kim to attend her sister’s celebration of life. Many nieces and nephews were thrilled to have her attend. All her kids were there to support Mom and her beloved sister Loie and her family—Tammi, Randy and Trudi. After the service and meal at the Bell Church, Brad and I drove past their home farm, where her grandson Ryan now lives with his family. 

middle school musical

Several staff members attended the Meyer Middle School musical this evening! The kids did an amazing job. Many of my former students lit up the stage and behind the scenes including the scare crow, the professor, munchkins and more.

Mom had an appointment today and Kyle was able to drive her there in her vehicle. They both look joyful on their adventure!

Received a pocket of posies from a sweet first grader, ate delicious Easter egg salad on sour dough for dinner and voted. Pretty great day. 

scary morning

This morning our neighbor’s house started on fire. Thankfully no one was hurt, but it just makes you respect the power of fire. Thank you River Falls Fire Department for stopping the blaze and saving the surrounding homes. 

Easter is here!

Brad, Osten and I went to Ezekiel this morning for 8:30 service. It was very well attended. We then went driving for 30 minutes and did chores around the house. At 3, Osten and I headed into the city for the Timberwolvesgame versus the Charlotte Hornets. We were up at the half, but lost by quite a bit by the end. We had great seats and I caught a Fruity Pebbles t shirt. Also got to see Adam Thielen and his sons as spectators at the game. The Wolves need to win two more games to clinch a playoff spot. Let’s go Wolves! 

visiting the Blomgren branch

Today Brad, Osten and I drove down to rural Butterfield to see Grandma Blomgren and many of our Blomgren clan for annual Easter egg dying at Kyle and Kim’s. There were 2 dozen people gathered together. Osten got some drive time in on highway 60 and the final 4 happened. Ally won the family bracket challenge with 100 points 

UWRF classic

Osten the 1600 in 5:37 today at the Falcon Center. Your personal best! Cousin Ryan Pierson was there and congratulated Osten on his run. Super cool.
