lovely runner

Today I went for a nice walk around UWRF campus. There was some sort of football camp happening. I also saw a great runner pass me going and then coming back again. 

happy birthday big brother

Happy birthday Kyle Dean Sr. 

We had a tree taken down in our back yard today and I’m loving our flowers! 

kale harvest, Anders first day and some new color for me

Our little garden had some crops that are thriving well. The spinach is already going to seed, so I don’t know how much more we’ll get, but the kale is looking great. I harvested and washed it before  storm this evening and will make kale crisps tomorrow morning. Yum! 

Anders had his first day and said there is a lot of policies to learn. I got a little color refresh from Joanne. 

outdoor worship and beautiful day at home

 

beautiful bridal shower

Today was our day to celebrate the bride to be, Brooke. Played fun games and I didn’t win any prizes, but had lots of fun. 

time with Beata

 

Any time I get to spend with my beautiful daughter is time well spent. 

she looks marvelous

I’m down in southern MN for a wedding shower and for a chance to spend time with Mom yesterday. She looks really well with her new perm and was able to have a conversation for over two hours! She was playing bingo when I arrived. She said that her new hip fracture was very painful. So nice to see Mom doing so much better. 

sunshine and hair set

Today my Mom got to take a stroll in the sunshine with Kyle while she was getting her hair curled. What a lovely day 

Also bought some more pants that hopefully will work with her wheelchair 

now it’s officially summer vacation

 

summer starting

Osten’s football season started today with evening practice. He said it went well. Summer vacation soon to start for me too! Just had closing meeting and work time today. Have more meetings and then finishing up the year tomorrow. 

mom in the hospital again

Our poor Grandma B fell this past Wednesday and broke another hip! At first, it seemed like she was ok and then was sent to the ER in St. James. They determined it was broken and surgery would be very risky. No room for her there so she was transferred to Fairmont. Kyle Jr., Paige and Jude live there so have been daily visitors. On Thursday, she was pretty unresponsive so we were thinking this was it…she would be entering her final days. 

Friday rolled around and she became responsive again! Saturday, again she was responsive to visitors including Kent, Eden, Kurt, Liana, Adam, Jenna and her kids. 

Today, Brad, Osten, Katie and I visited. She knew most of us right away, but then other times kind of lost track. She talked for a while and then started drowsing off. It’s looking like she will be returning to Mt. Lake either Monday or Tuesday morning.
