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!

ode to the lip and day 8!
Our sweet grand nephew is sporting a lip very similar to his grand cousin Anders. After my day 8 (morning), I hammocked while enjoying a new Louise Erdrich book. It’s the first one I read when a college freshman.
