Going

It rained, it was warm...we had snow fog all morning on Sunday...the snow melts so fast it makes it foggy.  We did not get to the forecasted 70F.

June is going...going...but not gone yet.


 Not a speck of green anywhere.

Sunday afternoon we had lunch at my other baby brothers and she who sees robins first...hamburgers, hot dogs, potato salad and all the fixings.  It was really yummy!   We missed seeing one of their daughters ( she was working) and two grandsons in  North Dakota...everyone else was there.  Fun to see them all again after a long Winter...the little kids are getting taller! 

Minnesota weather: High 64 F or 18C  Low was 40F or 4C.

Stash

 I finished one blanket using up part of my "stash."


It is a shell stitch.  I  was not thrilled with the one blue/grey bunch of yarn but it is what it is. 

Yesterday was a busy day.  Far Guy tackled all kinds of small projects while I did some laundry and got rid of a bunch of over the hill stuff in the fridge!

We made pork chops and rice for supper with peaches. 

Friday night we went out with my other baby brother and she who sees robins first for supper at a local place...the food was good.  

Saturday was the Frozen Four Championship.  So we watched hockey in the afternoon. 

Minnesota weather:  High 46F or 8C  Low was 40F or 4C.  It rained a little.  It is supposed to be 70F on Sunday...we will see if that happens.  I think we still have too much snow cover for that to happen!

The Snowbank named June

I think that June may be gone in April this year.  We are supposed to get really warm weather this weekend. 

Always fun to see June disappear! 

Something missing was not found so we did the best we could and had a new key made.  It took three different visits to two different places of business to accomplish it....but now we can cross it off of our list and I can say with certainty that the missing keys will show up now. 

Far Guy has been out to visit his old car Tilly in the garage and the next door neighbor/great niece Anna stopped by with Remmy. (Remmy is a pup that was rescued from a ditch nearby last Fall...someone threw her out the window) She grew over the Winter! 

What's cooking: My other baby brother brought us over a couple of jars of venison soup that was really good so we didn't have to cook our first night back.   Yesterday we made Chicken Enchiladas before watching the big Hockey game...we lost so it was not a fun game to watch. 

Minnesota Weather:  Sunny.  The breeze coming off the snow is chilly.  High 46F or 8C  Low was 30F or -1C eh!

27

 Our youngest Granddaughter Paige was 27 this week!   Happy Birthday Paige!

I looked at photos from 10 years ago when she was 17. 

She was going to prom!  Chance loved all of the girls and was happy to pose with them! 

Here is a photo I took of beautiful Miss Paige last December!


We love you lots Miss Paige!

Safely home

We are back at home in the woods.  We are mostly unpacked and catching up on naps! 


There is a fair amount of snow here. 

Yesterday we picked up a grocery order from Walmart and went out for a late lunch in town. 

The house is just fine...we had to call the Security alarm company because of a low battery...Ken came and replaced it within a few hours of my call...no charge as the battery was replaced 2 years ago and it should last 3 or 4 years.

Jen followed us home on Tuesday to help us unload the vehicles and help us put some stuff away and got our computers hooked up again!  We miss her already!  

Minnesota weather:  High 42F or 6C  Low was 27F or -3C eh!  Beautiful blue sky is back! 

Our grand Paige had a birthday yesterday!  Happy Birthday Paige!
