full day done

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. 

day 8 1/2 and a trip to see Bruce and Julie’s new place

A good morning at RFPME and a fun outing to see Bruce and Julie’s new apartment in Minneapolis. It’s a super rainy day in River Falls. Took a lovely walk and caught some beautiful fall foliage views. 

ode to the lip and day 8!

 

Our sweet grand nephew is sporting a lip very similar to his grand cousin Anders. After my day 8 (morning), I hammocked while enjoying a new Louise Erdrich book. It’s the first one I read when a college freshman. 

5-0!

I can’t even believe it! The MN Vikings are starting out as hot as the temps here in RF. The high temp was 92 today. 

hot hot hot

We set a record breaking temperature for the day at 90 degrees! Went on a walk with Petra early and hosted Bruce for dinner. Got pumpkins and candy corn in between. Osten was very happy the Oklahoma Sooners beat Texas. Fun day for the Olson family! 

day 7 1/2

Another morning at RFPME for me. Felt great to be back and teaching lessons. I got a lovely rose from a student this morning. Walked home at noon and took a four mile walk around the section—cascade to Wasson to cemetery to main and back to cascade. Dinner at Juniors with Brad and now watching Osten and the wildcats play Rice Lake on YouTube. We’re up 17-0 in the third quarter. 

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! 

OBJ is becoming a Viking

 

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.
