shakey graves
Live music with Kim and Sarah is so incredible. We saw Shakey Graves at first avenue in Minneapolis this evening. Beautiful show.
Sadly the Timberwolves had their first loss of the season but happily, the Brewers won and now are up 3-0 in the World Series. I also had my fifteenth day of school today! Hooray.

day full of adventure
Starting with a 7am walk, I’m finally taking it easy at 10pm. Walk with Petra, honor walk for Maxwell in St. Paul at 10am, lunch with Jenny and Julia Knier at noon, shopping afterward, birthday party for Sarah and Gretchen at 4:30 and Bunco at Emily’s at 5:30. I won a bunco prize, got a gift from Sarah and bought a sweet little quilted jacket and clogs from Kindred & had lots of meaningful conversation and laughter. What a day! Also got a cute snap from Adam—he ran into Anders and Ally at an apple orchard today!

candle light walk, pumpkin bread and hammock
What a picture perfect day! Spent the morning at school and then came home to make some pumpkin bread and read in the hammock. This evening, Michelle and I walked at the school forest on a candlelight walk. It was a really beautiful day.

day 12
I did the morning at RFPME—went well! Got my workout in and then drove to Zumbrota to meet Kurt to drive down for my cousin Jodi’s pre-celebration of life. Tomorrow will be her funeral mass. Got to see lots of cousins & catch up. It was so great to see Andy, Sheila, Erika, Nels, Missy, Jennifer, Barb, Craig, Debb, Dave and Kim. Riding with Kurt was a definite highlight of the day. Home now and ready to rest up for day 12 1/2!
