2011 Better Late Than Never

While looking through previous posts I'd written in the past I remembered how I used to make best and worst lists of the previous year. I thought I would do that again. Even if it's a month late.

Best of 2011

1. Marrying the love of my life.

2. Getting a whole week off for vacation.

3. Cheesefest and Door County

4. Having 2 of my closest friends become new moms.

5. Farmers markets

Worst of 2011

1. Witnessing a tornado. Something I hope to never experience again.

2. Not being able to go to California with Scott.

3. Spending all our holidays here without family. Although Freaster and Friendsgiving were fun.

4. Scott having to work Sundays.
5. Waiting many months for our freezer.

(There really wasn't many bad things this year)

Things I Look Forward to in 2012

1. A real honeymoon?

2. Going to Chicago for Scott's sisters wedding.

3. Joining our first CSA.

4. Camping in summer

5. Becoming a better bread baker.

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. Don't @ me for doing this, as the kids say. Our kitty has been havin

Mille Lacs for the Day

Yesterday I made yogurt and today it was ready to go in the fridge.

Honeymoon: Madeline Island Without a Kayak? At Least We Brought Bikes.

We made it safely to Bayfield without getting attacked by any bears . I think that's because of my wily driving skills.
