New Toy, Gardening & Other Miscellany

I am going to be heading down to Frederick, SD this week to meet up with one of our grower families and our customer for work. I will be taking photos of the family and hopefully getting some video and photos with our drone too. So, I had it home last week so I could try get get more familiar with it. I made it take some pics of us. :-)

Daddy took the day off work on Friday to go down to a snowmobile swap meet near Princeton, MN. He brought back a surprise for the girls.

It's a nice little size for Brynn to drive and it is a manual, but she was doing pretty well getting used to shifting.

Clara rode with Brynn for a bit and then got into her usual duty of shoveling out dead insects from the back garage. I think we were both a bit surprised when she encountered one that was still alive. Haha. She just cracks me up.

Playing hair salon together on Saturday.

They did the dishes together last night after supper. And tonight again, too, so hopefully this is a new trend!

The garden has been coming along pretty well. Usually I am not one to be found out in it, but I took the girls out there last night to see what needed to be picked.

There are always tomatoes to be picked!

I was just saying to Dana the other night how I was surprised that we don't find any worms in the garden. I guess we must have gotten enough rain the past couple of days as Brynn did unearth a couple when she was digging potatoes. Not sure why he ended up in the bucket though. Gross.

Clara declared, "I'm a farmer!" Hehe - sure are, Clara!

Play-doh fun with Dad tonight...

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.) They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match. Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family. We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...
