mosaic & stroll with Julie

I finished getting the tiles on my mosaic today and now just need to grout it! Also went on a walk with Julie downtown Stillwater. What a perfect day—the weather was like a dream!

time to read and practice drive

Today was a perfect day weather wise. I got to finish a book and start a new one in the hammock. Also did some night driving with Osten ❤️



recovery mode

Taking it easy after the big fun weekend. Doing some mosaic at my friend Lisa’s place. This will be a garden stepping stone.

yacht club final chapter

 

It was the most beautiful weather of all three days. Really enjoyed Dope Lemon through the Strokes. We had a great spot where we could just sit on our blanket and turn around to see the other band. 







yacht club day 2

🤩 picture perfect day with amazing music.



1. Matt and Kim. Super high energy and a little naughty 

2. The All American Rejects were also high energy and Oklahoma natives

3. Lord Huron iconic, the stars of the show for me 

4. Matchbox 20–wow, I knew almost every song and they closed with a cover of “Don’t you forget about me”

Yummy Island Noodles and fun hanging out with Angie Bond, Patty Brown and Kim Lindsay and PEOPLE WATCHING

mn yacht club festival






My dear friend Kim took me to another amazing music festival on Harriet Island in St. Paul. The MN Yacht festival had enormous crowds and the weather was hot and sticky, but the music was fantastic with two stages playing one right after the other. My favorite act of the night was the Lumineers. The lead singer walked through the crowd and I was able to touch his shoulder. 

We’re heading back tomorrow for more good music. 
Drone footage from the Lumineers!

Brad and I safely traveled to the beautiful city of Seattle. We’re watching some Alone and will be going to bed soon…it’s been a long and fu...
