Dec 8 2007



I slept in today and I still got up before Scott.



I couldn't sit down to eat breakfast because the kitty was too busy going crazy.



Scott suprisingly gets up not too much later.



Scott has to go to school on a Saturday. Now he knows how I feel.



I go over to Cevonne's new place.



She hasn't finished unpacking yet.



She gets bored with that so she reads me a story.



She doesn't know where Olive Garden is so I show her.



After seeing how far away Olive Garden is she decides to apply at Buca which is much closer to where she lives.



It is so cold in her apartment so we make tea.



We try to fix the heater ourselves. Only 2 hours later does it decide to start working again.



Scott is finally done with school so we go pick him up.



We make dinner quickly before all the punks come over.



Cevonne wants to see what our house is like when there is a show going on so we wait until everyone arrives.



It's getting late. I call Ben who's in town to see what's up.



We go over to see Ben and Jordan.



Most of the night is spent looking up things on Ben's computer.



Cevonne and I listen patiently as the boys talk about computers.



Jordan works on her drawings.



Cevonne turns into cyclops.



Ben seems tired so we leave.



After dropping off Cevonne, Scott and I see a kitty digging in the garbage. We take him home.



We take the cat up to Savanah's room to feed him.



Later we introduce Hex to the new kitty which we named Cat Power.



Hex is literally a "scaredy cat" and hides under the bed.

After the new kitty breaks some dishes and bites Scott in the arm, I finally go to bed.

I told you my life was more interesting.

Willow River, Ben Comes to Visit and a Quick Work Trip to the Wasatch Valley

Saturday The kids and I stopped at the Uptown Farmers Market the other day. And much to our surprise was a bakery selling Japanese Milk Bread. Of course I had to make our favorite breakfast.  For this weeks farmers market run, the kids and I tried out the St Paul Farmers Market. After hearing about it for years we finally made the trek. Getting here and finding parking was an adventure in itself.  Well, that's because it's not located in a car sewer. Love all the pretty colors.  Popcorn for these kiddos. I'm not sure how you all aren't sick of popcorn. We also got okra, cucumbers, cauliflower, spread cheese, green beans and potatoes.  Then we stopped at a Hyvee to get food for a picnic lunch, camp meals for our upcoming trip to Ontario, and school snacks.  Then to take advantage of our new Wisconsin State Park pass, we went to the uber popular Willow River State Park . All the picnic tables were in use so the ground it is.  The only other time we have been ...

How Many Cottage Visits This Summer? Well, This Time We Went to the Vilas County Fair

  You probably thought: "You guys can't be going to to the cottage again? And you already went to a fair!" Well, you'd be wrong. After a delayed return from Utah, we headed back to Three Lakes. After missing the turn to get on 35W north we found ourselves on 94 East and decided to keep going that way. Since we'd be on 29, you know we had to stop at Marieke Gouda again. This time we could browse around.  We got some cheese for up north and the kids and I got ice cream cones, again. The water levels had really dropped.  Much of the Upper Midwest was in deep drought to end the summer. Even the pond was dry. Well, at least the lake was mostly full. Straight to the water with these kids. Theo and I were at the farmers market earlier this week and Theo said he wanted corn on the cob. I told my dad to pick some up at the farm stand on the way up to have for dinner. What a goof. This view never gets old. With swimming lessons now completed, Theo has been become quite the...

Backcountry Camping with Kids in Theodore Roosevelt National Park

Day 1  Back in May I stumbled upon Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I had no idea there was a National Park in North Dakota and that it was the northern end of the Badlands. Usually our summer vacations coincide with Scott's work trips. Since he didn't have any this summer I thought we should take advantage of actually taking a vacation. What, my workcations are always classics? I suppose a second real vacation this year wouldn't hurt. We definitely have more time than normal. As long as we took Covid-19  precautions and avoided people. We finally settled on a time to go. Blake joined us so we borrowed our dad's van so we could ride together. Scott had just driven from Michigan the day before. Blake had met my parents in Wisconsin to get the van and then drove from Duluth to pick us up. I offered to drive since I literally only drive twice a month.  I was still pretty tired from a long drive home. Since we were near Fergus Falls we had to stop by the abandoned state ho...
