licensed driver!

Our sweet Osten passed his drivers behind the wheel test! Way to go big guy. Now you can be my chauffeur. 

I also got some new low lights in my ever “blinding” hair. 

my day 1 on the 2nd

Oh it was so lovely to be back in the classroom today! I felt good most of the day and got so many genuine hugs. I hope tomorrow is another great day. 

happy 91st howdy September and day 1 for Osten

I was feeling crummy this morning so spent the day at home. Went for a walk and took a picture say hello to September. Osten had a good first day in 10th grade. 

And today is Mom’s 91st birthday. Kim called and I was able to sing happy birthday! 

bye bye August

 

thinking of my precious Mama

Today, I got a text string from my brothers that Mom had another fall. She didn’t break anything, but she did have x rays and it looks like she may have bone cancer. We will not be having a diagnosis as she is so frail. She did get some nice visitors today❤️. 

We had to say goodbye to a nice visitor…so lovely to have you home Katie Grace! 

day to Wood Lake

Today, Brad, Katie, Osten and I drove to Wood Lake. On the way, we stopped at Chateau St. Croix and for yummy burritos at a gas station in Osceola. Tonight, we had dinner with Bud, Betty, Ibby and Mike to celebrate Betty’s 81st birthday and Bud and Betty’s 58th wedding anniversary. 

all 3 kids! an eclipse, state fair & a solitaire victory!

 

preparing the environment

Today I was able to go back to school and get the classroom prepared for Tuesday. Still have planning and other work to do, but getting very close. Also got a snap from our sweet Beata and am calling it her first day of school photo. 

home day

I ended up getting sick last night and most of the day today. I need to make sure I don’t wear myself out. Watched season 3 of Ted Lasso. 

pooped out

Day 2 caught up to me! Feeling a little worn out, but hope to rest very well tonight for Back To School Night tomorrow.
