heading north—driving through hail and Luis days

We are heading north to the cabin for the weekend and drive through a hailstorm. Luis Swanson is along for the adventure. We’re spending the night at Bud and Betty’s. 

yum day

 

Left over ska Betty, our first raspberry of the season and a little detour on Osten and my drive time to Crisp and Green. 

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
