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! 

full day 3!

 

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 1/2

 

Another great day at school. We are currently watching the MN Timberwolves in their season opener versus Miami. 

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! 

another full day

I’m ready to go to bed, but it was day 11 1/2 for me. Then I went to big Os final JV football game versus Menomonie with Brad. So fun to see him play under the lights! Now it’s time to brush my teeth and go to bed! 

state champions

The River Falls Wildcats placed first in AAA marching band competition! I got to see their parade today😍

I made it a full day and feel well! Watching the River Falls Wildcats football team play Menomonie 

day 9 1/2 and the Brewers are heading to the World Series

Thursday morning was my 9 1/2 day at school

this year! Felt great. Rainy day so I made some chocolate chip cookies and a yummy dinner of chicken thighs and sweet potatoes. Watched the Milwaukee Brewers sweep the Dodgers to advance to the World Series. 

day 9 & Katie made it in to the MSU Mankato Nursing program

Another good day in the classroom and a lovely announcement from one my very favorite people in the world! This beautiful smarty pants was accepted into the Minnesota State University Mankato nursing program! Go Katie Grace! We’re also dog sitting Gromit. What a dapper little gent.
