When we were staying at my Uncle's in Minneapolis, they had us stay in the back room of the Mother-in-Law addition, and I thought it was lovely. We had a blow up mattress, and SO MANY windows, and I couldn't resist taking a photo. Nothing else exciting here - hope you have an awesome weekend … Continue reading Where We Stayed This Last Week

Fort Snelling: Grandpa and Grandma Hanson
We went up to Minneapolis this last week to inter my Grandpa and Grandma Hanson. Because Grandpa was military, he was allowed a plot at Fort Snelling. It was immediate family only and really short - only 15 minutes before they had to move to the next funeral. The woman who got us all set … Continue reading Fort Snelling: Grandpa and Grandma Hanson
Fort Snelling – Grandpa Korpi
My family was in Minneapolis this week for the internment of my Grandpa and Grandma. Both were cremated, and they will be buried together in Fort Snelling. But!

Just a Little Bit of Nostalgia
We went to a relative's high school graduation party, and it seems like there were parties EVERYWHERE. Which makes me a bit nostalgic for the summer after High School Graduation where I was finally DONE with Day Care (I mean High School) and eagerly looking forward to college. I had no real responsibilities, and everything … Continue reading Just a Little Bit of Nostalgia
Memorial Day Break
Taking a break for Memorial Day, see you Wednesday~! It's rainy and gloomy here, and it's ridiculously muggy, but a day of rest is in order. My parents are putting bouquets together from the artificial flowers they bought, and they'll put them in hanging baskets at the family cemetery. They do this every year and … Continue reading Memorial Day Break
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter! This post is a day late, but I do all of my post writing on Sunday, so it's Easter today. We did Easter Eggs at my in-laws' house, and this was the result. I blurred everyone's names since they didn't give me permission to share. But, yes, my drawings are bad enough that … Continue reading Happy Easter!

Nothing big, but I did almost all of my shopping online during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and now everything is accounted for. *smile* We were within budget, and we were able to find gifts for everyone in our immediate family. I spent last night wrapping … Continue reading Wrapped and Ready To Go!
Knitting Machine Final Set Up
I picked up a smaller table from the relative that gifted me with the knitting machine, and it fits SO much better in our house! Here's a peek: I really like how it came out! And I'm sloooooowly but surely working on learning to use it. I will admit that not knowing how to knit … Continue reading Knitting Machine Final Set Up
Thanksgiving Prep for My Husband
My husband has gut issues, and is very limited in what he can eat, so when we go somewhere to eat, we need to provide something for him that's safe. We'll be going to the family Thanksgiving thrown by his side of the family, which means... I need to make food. I'll not be Keto … Continue reading Thanksgiving Prep for My Husband
First Snow and a New Coat
We went to a funeral this last Saturday, and on the way we went from about 45 degrees to freezing and extremely windy aaaaand... first snow! It didn't stick of course, but I got a good picture: It had snowed for maybe 10 minutes in Dodgeville while I was there on October 11th, but this … Continue reading First Snow and a New Coat
