farewell February

 

incredible progress

 

big work

 

tired today

I’m tired today because…

Timberwolves tied their largest comeback in franchise history! 

Had a great walk with Petra today and then came home to this new development in our bathroom remodel.

Our snow is history after super warm temps 

 

colorful Sunday

Yummy brunch in Minneapolis with the Watson’s. Washed olive color in the bathroom walls. White on the bottom and on the ceiling. Walk to the pinnacle of River Falls on a warm afternoon and my first and likely last snow creature of February 2025. 

2-22-25

I was hoping the RF 8 Blue team would have gone out with a winning streak, but they went 0-3 today against some very talented teams. 

Tonight I had a favorite things party where Michelle Madsen hosted and Gretchen, Angie, Sharyl, Michelle Johnson, Sarah, Chris, Kim & myself gathered for dinner, drinks, conversation and a gift exchange. Our friend, Jen joined us on FaceTime for the gift exchange. I got an axoltyl lamp, lotion & mineral salts. We had a blast! I love my friends! 

this weekend will be putting color on the walls and ceiling

 

In between basketball and my “favorite things” party, I plan on getting the ceiling and walls painted. So fun to see the progress. 

newest addition to the bathroom

Primed and flooring laid down; just needs grout!

 

happy 91st birthday Daddy B

To the best Dad I could have had; happy, happy heavenly birthday. 

cold day!

Today we had a cold day off school! I went in for several hours to do some cleaning and organizing and preparing the classroom for parent teacher conferences tonight. They went well! Fingers and toes crossed that we’ll have school tomorrow—we have a field trip to the MN Children’s Theater. Got this great picture of Mom this morning…makes my day to see her so happy! 

bathroom remodel update

So many important things happening this past week. Our contractor Roger Penman started on Thursday and a lot has transpired. 

He put up the waterproofing around the tub on Thursday & Friday & built a niche to put our toiletries in. The toilet was pulled and Brad finished demolishing the floor. 

Today, the Sheetrock people came in. Tomorrow, they plan on prepping for painting. I bought the primer, so maybe tomorrow after parent teacher conferences I can get them primed ❤️. Here are some photos:

0-3 at our home tournament

 There were moments when it looked like we’d win, but both River Falls 8th grade teams went 0-3 at our home tournament

. Osten ended up with 7 points today!
