day 7

Another half day at school and it felt good! I plan on doing day 7 1/2 tomorrow. Brad made the most incredible egg bake for dinner tonight. It was a great day!

day 6.5

This morning I went in to school and saw lots of neat things at the farm field trip. We saw bees, ducks, chickens, beef cattle and had a tasty snack of beef sticks, honey and fresh milk. 

day 6

I was at school a full day today. It was workshop, so not overly demanding, but there were meetings and thinking required. It felt good. 

After school, we watched #83 play against Hudson. We lost 20-12, but he played well and felt good. After practice, we went to a basketball meeting for this winter season. Love seeing him play.

Today we finished prepping wood to be split and then celebrated Mike’s 59th birthday. His grandkids are so stinking cute. Then I drove to Stillwater to spend the day at the art fair with my dear Julie. It was a magical day.

Brad, Osten and I are up at the hunting shack today cutting wood and watched the MN Golden Gophers beat the Michigan Wolverines for the jug! 

another half day at school!

I made it another half day at school (I wrote the wrong number, should have been 5) and Beata had her interview for the MSU nursing program! Good day for the Olson women. 

welcome October

What a lovely start to a new month. October was named after the number 8…it used to be the 8th month of a ten month year. Now it’s the tenth month of a twelve month year. 

until 27 September

September is a wrap! Finished another Louise Erdrich, Shadow Tag. Not my favorite, but still well written.

Kyle and Kim are visiting Mom. She won three games of cards! She called me too so that was a thrill for me. 

day 4.5

Today, I was able to teach in the afternoon. It felt so great to be back with the kids and my teaching friends. 

After school, Brad and I went to see Osten play football in New Richmond. The team lost, but Osten played a good game.
