bye bye 2024





Another genuinely fantastic day, cleaning and organizing. Went and got a salad made by our beautiful daughter and then to Woodbury to Sierra to get a new coat, gloves and some new shoes for Anders Cole.

my personal trainer Katie

 

Spending time with Katie at the Falcon Center is precious. Plus I found this gem on our Christmas tree…I’m pretty sure my friend Sharyl snuck it on our tree when she visited the other night. 

And after my workout, I took a lovely candlelit bubble bath

another amazing day

After a morning hot tub in St. James, our family drove to the coffee hag in Mankato for coffee and then to Dave’s hot chicken in Minnetonka for lunch. Then we all shopped at Trader Joe’s and said farewell to Anders and Ally. 

Home to watch the Vikings win 27-25 over the Packers! We are 14-2 on the season.

love working out with K80

Katie and I went to the falcon center today and worked on hamstrings and glutes. I’m going to feel it in the morning! 



We also found a home for our new USVI shell artwork.

amazing Christmas Day!

Another morning to sleep in, a nice chat with Bud and then a brisk 5.4 mile hike around Wood Lake. Then back to clean up, eat a delicious meal of  mashed potatoes, Swedish meatballs, corn bake and lefse. 

Now we’re hanging out watching football and digesting. Tonight, we’ll likely eat more yummy food and watch movies/visit. 







fresh hair color

So I got a touch up on my silver fox hair today. I also wore my fancy boots to work. It was a good day!
