 We had given Dana tickets to the Foo Fighters when they were scheduled to be in Fargo on their tour. I was the chosen one to accompany Dana. They did put on a fantastic show and we had a great time. Clara and I attended a community park event with live music and different vendors hosted on the lawn of American Crystal's corporate offices building. It was a beautiful night for it. We are on the very right edge of this photo, in the middle. And you can only see me and my white hat as Clara was cut off from the pic. Clara has started confirmation now as a sixth grader. She is also part of the youth worship team. I am leading her group which is comprised mostly of our Sunday school kids. We're off to a great start as we have an awesome bunch of girls. The first night was a scavenger hunt - everything we checked off the list we were supposed to take a photo. It was so funny. My boss Jen and me delivering turkey sandwiches for a United Way event. Dana and I made it for the last West...

Clara's friend, Micah, and his parents invited us out to their lake place on Lake 7 a couple of weekends ago. We had a great time - and best of all - their cat Ali was there. She is so soft. We stayed for a bonfire and s'mores and then headed back home, but not before some spooky and mysterious storytelling.  We celebrated Mom's birthday with our usual line-up of fish and angel food cake at the lake. My cousin Tammy was able to be there as well as her daughter and son-in-law.  Tessa put together a taste test challenge of different Coke and Pepsi products. Everyone who tried did rather poorly. Haha. Happy birthday, Mom! After the festivities we continued on to our friends' house as we planned to all go to the Renaissance Festival in Shakopee on Sunday. Roger got up early to make us a hearty breakfast. Brynn braided my hair for me. On my way to get myself a cup of mead. Clara found this gold coin when she was climbing up into this tree. After a bit we caught up with Roger...
