Drop Off #1

Surprisingly, considering her initial reluctance, Carsten was pretty positive and excited all day today. I think it helped her to know she was just going to camp for a few days and not a full week. We went out for a big breakfast this morning, to celebrate my neighbor’s birthday, and we didn’t get home … More Drop Off #1

Camp

I loved summer camp as a kid. Every summer I went to Camp Chetek, to a bible camp. (Yes. Me at a bible camp. HA!). I remember calling home and begging my Mom to let me stay another week, thinking I was SO lucky that she let me stay. Now I realize she probably hung … More Camp

Nice subject change at the end there…. let’s just ignore the hysteria and talk … More Cody’s turn…

Junkin’

My friend Camille invited me to go to the Elko – New Market Flea Market with her. Camille owns a antique store next to The Vintage Gypsy in downtown Prior Lake. I saved up my cash in the past two weeks, getting ready to barter for some junk at the market. I spent most of … More Junkin’

Sisters

It’s not very often that all of my sisters are in the same place. We are all busy with jobs and kids and just life in general. We are spread out, 2 in Minnesota, 1 in Wisconsin and 1 in Colorado. Yesterday my Colorado sister, Kristen, happened to be passing through the Twin Cities. So, … More Sisters
