Bus Trip to Wisconsin

 


My friend Mary and I went on the third annual bus trip to the casino and Pine Creek, WI. We had a blast. There were about 30 people on the bus and great fun was had by all. The bar we went to in WI is a p*ck*r bar (i just can't say it) so Mary and I made sure were wore our ViQueens gear! 

Charli*'s Angel's

Some of the clinic nurse's and ma's went to a dinner at Enj*y! tonight. There was a talk about allergies. The food was really good and the talk was interesting. My friend Tamara and I had to play Charli*'s Angel's because Tamara left her key at home. When I went to drop her off afterwards, we realized we were locked out. We went to a friend's house to borrow a ladder and Tamara climbed over her mom's patio and onto hers to get in through the door. It was quite interesting -- one of those things where you had to be there to really enjoy the hilariousness of it all.

Wolf Center

While we were in Ely the kids and I stopped at the Wolf Center. We spied three of the wolves . . .




Those weren't it . . . here's one!

The End of the Road

The kids and I went up to Ely October 14-16 to help celebrate my birth-uncle's 50th birthday. We went to dinner at a restaurant at the end of the road . . . literally. If you wanted to go any further, you'd have to hike. Can you see Canada???

Morgan and Steve

Here's Morgan and her Dad at the SO Third Grade performance. They did square dancing and Morgan got to pick a partner to join her . . . she picked her daddy!

Happy Birthday to you . . .

Happy birthday to my birthdad . . .

Sloth

I've been a sloth today. It was a topsy-turvy week -- two nights late and three days early for work. One of the doctors left the clinic so there was a going away for him last night at Bob's. It was fun. The people I work with are a riot! I'm off to the MOM this afternoon with Lisa to do a little window shopping -- we both decided we need to get out of our respective houses and get some walking in!

I searched for Bon Jovi tickets today. They're playing 11/11 and I thought for S&G I would see if there was anything good available. Well, if I want to go by myself I can get a crappy ticket, but there was nothing for two or more people to sit together. Unbelievable! How can an 80's hair band still be so popular???? Wait . . . I was looking for tickets wasn't I?

Knitting update: Been working on one of the 8-hour baby afghans. Want to finish the Walk in the Woods sweater so I can wear it in Ely next weekend. All I have to do is sew the sleeves in!

Faerie House

 

This is my new faerie house that I bought at the RenFest this year. I love faerie houses but they're a little on the spendy side. This is my second faerie house and it's in my front garden right in front of my sedum. The sedum blooms a red-copper color and looks great with the copper colored faerie house in front of it!

My kids have spent most of the weekend with play dates -- we have had additional children with us all weekend. I need to put the kibosh on this one -- quickly! Yesterday we went to Faribault to harvest our pumpkins. I forgot my camera so I have no pictures to share. Then we went to my sister and brother-in-laws for a bonfire. Didn't stay long -- unruly children prevailed!

My October knitting goals:

1. Finish my "Walk in the Woods" sweater
2. Finish a belt I'm making out of ladder yarn
3. Knit a Vikings hat
4. Make two eight hour baby afghans
5. Work on the "Play Time" baby blanket I started a while ago

P.S. Carrie -- I got a kick out of the "Free Mullet Removal" sign you have a snapshot of on your blog! 

Tucker

 



Tucker died. Of course, this isn't him now -- this was him some time ago. We will have a formal ceremony tomorrow. May he rest in peace.
