July

 Reagan was in town and came to watch Clara's last tennis lesson. Clara is very excited to be a junior bridesmaid in Nanny Izabell and her fiancé, Neil's, wedding. Brynn and her friend, Karah, spent a few days out at Dead Lake. Thanks for having them, Grandpa and Grandma Froemming! Dana and I made it over to Bear Creek winery as Maria's Mexican food truck was parked out there. It was so delish. We had our Dietz family get-together at Franklin. It was a beautiful day and so good to see everyone. Clara and I with great uncle Doug (my grandpa's youngest brother) and baby Aurora, Doug's great-grandchild. We were so glad Shelly and Lester were able to make it. I left the get-together so I could get back to Fargo to pick up Amanda for the Boyz II Men concert at the fairgrounds. They sounded so good and we had a lot of fun. I only wished I had gotten us closer to the stage. Clara went back to Dead Lake with Grandpa and Grandma after Lake Franklin and did some fishing.

Fourth of July 2025

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...

Swimming + Summer

 Brynn's friend boards her horse at a stable and Brynn tagged along out there one day. Brynn with Cheeto. :-) Making good use of Clara's pool. We've had some hot days lately. Brynn has been taking some private tennis lessons through this summer. We were able to take in a Redhawks game on a most beautiful night. My dad and Dana's parents were able to join us as well. Clar a discussi ng apple trees with our neighbor, Gayle. I was a guest judge for the cooking competition at the Northern Crops Institute's Ag Academy  where they host high school students interested in food or animal science careers for a week long education experience. One of the tracks focuses on food development in which the students are tasked with creating a recipe and making the finished product. Through the company I work for, we provided our chickpea flour and milled flax as ingredients for the food challenge. The students were required to use both products in their final crea...
