united we stand divided we fall

To be totally transparent, I’m sad our country voted the way it did. I did not vote for the 45th or 47th president. But we do need a peaceful transfer of power. 

  

A friend of mine wrote this…Let’s remember to love our neighbor….and that love is an action…and that all of humanity is our neighbor…Love is the only force in the world stronger than hatred, stronger than bitterness, stronger than racism, stronger than sexism, stronger than bigotry, stronger than toxic masculinity…

Another write this… Be the change you want to see in the world. Peace out for a while. Work to do. 

Election Day!

Going to bed and happy to report that all Olsons in our family who are eligible to vote cast a ballot today! Here’s our first time voter with her sticker. 

8 B team first game first win of the season

 

Osten did a nice job being point guard and getting several assists to M Pelton. He took 8 shots and none converted to points, but it looked like he was having fun. 

hello November

 

A cold and rainy day--great for a fire, pizza, grilled cheese, a packing party for college kids care packages, a hike to the top of River Falls. Now we're watching the Vikings game.

raking, cleaning up gardens, Blugold marching and IVY!

Today was a doing day with raking the yard, Osten going to a basketball skills camp, driving to EC to watch Anders perform his final Blugold football game and seeing my dear friend Ivy and husband Curt who happened to be in town for their son Logan’s honors band performance. Then we went out to dinner at a great hot pot place. We’re watching the Timberwolves and setting our clocks back as daylight saving time ends today! The photos are of graduating tubas and the entire tuba section and the tubas playing a little football. 

love love love
