Anniversaries

 Well, we have zero trees in our backyard now. :-( Some were dying and the others didn't look very good either and Dana wanted to start fresh with a new tree row if we had to cut down some anyhow. Last Saturday, Dana and Hubert cut down three of the end trees and while I was gone Dana finished the other three. It sure looks different out back now!

Hubert got cleaned up and took a break from logging to take some pics with Brynn in the orchard to commemorate their one-year dating anniversary. They are so cute. 💖






Our 20th wedding anniversary was on Wednesday while I was still gone on the Glacier trip. The day I got back,  Dana came home with 20 of my favorite flower.

Brynn found a recipe to make fried chicken so she thawed some chicken breasts from our freezer and she and Hubert breaded the pieces and Dana ended up jumping in to help fry...and to look cool evidently. 👀 It ended up being a midnight snack of sorts as I think they finished around 11:30 PM. They said it turned out really good though.



We had gotten free tickets to another RedHawks game which started out pretty rainy, so we ended up going an hour late and only staying a half an hour as all three kids weren't having a good time. So, they had some snacks and we headed back home. It was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle night, so that was kind of fun.


When we were down in St. Cloud for Jessica's birthday, she gave us this blanket she knitted for our anniversary. My mom had made a quilt that we gave them as a wedding gift when she and Roger got married. It was so thoughtful of her! It's very warm and cozy!

On Saturday to kick off our anniversary date, Dana and I went out about five miles south of our house for a side-by-side ride. It was so fun to just have some time to go for as long as we wanted and not have to get back home by a certain time.

We came upon a cemetery and it had this tiny church there so I made Dana take my picture next to it. It was so cute, but I was also giggling at how I look like a giant next to it.

When we got back, we got cleaned up and hit up Brewhalla before dinner at The Toasted Frog.


Dessert at Insomnia:




We found out they were having a comedy show at The Cellar below Front Street Taproom, so we bought tickets for that while we were at Brewhalla.



We came home and tried to be out by the fire until Dana got too cold. He should have had a wooly mammoth type sweater like I had on.


We were saying how fast 20 years has gone and we are both looking forward to the next 20 and beyond! 💗

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!

January + Valentine's Day + CATS!

We ARE still alive over here and have not frozen to death. Here's what we've been up to for the past month and a half! Brynn and Hubert at the OG (Olive Garden): 'Lady and the Tramp' style. haha. Taking in a Force game...with extra fighting. It was very exciting. One Sunday when Clara was at a sleepover, the three of us went to Black Coffee Waffle Bar after church and then for some crepes and boba at Tea & Crepe. Then Brynn and I went prom dress shopping which was really fun. She did find a dress she loves so that was a relief. This is not the one she chose, but she tried on quite a few nice ones. Clara made crowns for the king and I (me). Clara had to write an essay to be considered for the robotics team at school. She waited for at least a couple of weeks to learn if she was accepted, and unfortunately was not. She was pretty disappointed, but she does have a chance to reapply next year when she's a fifth grader, and won't have to write another essay. I th...
