Meadow Opens Her Gifts

Brooke finished up work on the tent and then brought it up. Meadow looked unsure at first, but now is in love with playing in it.

I didn't think she would be interested in it quite yet, but I'm happy she's enjoying it.

We also got her this doll while at the No-Coast Craftarama. We bought one for Marina, but Meadow loved it so much she picked out this one too.

We decided to name her Velo. French for bicycle.

I don't think she'll be using those for a few years, but we'll give them a try.

They were the only ones I could find that would fit her tiny feet. And the price wasn't bad either.

The thrift store abacus will be put to get use right away.

I had decided today that I was going to get things done so not a lot of photos were taken. Just a progress photo of my strawberry plant that I planted on Easter. I had also started 3 kinds of tomatoes and bell peppers this week. For breakfast I had steel cut oats. I know pretty exciting. Something unusual did happen today. I had gone out to get groceries and found Peanut soaked from the rain waiting by the door when I got home. I'm not sure how he got out or how long he was gone. He is not actually blurry in this photo as it appears. He had just shaken all the rain off his fur. He has been quite the escape artist lately and may have sprinted out quickly when I left. For lunch I just had a mixed green salad and a tangelo. For dinner I had ham and chicken jambalaya. My sister and brother-in-law were going to com

Exploring (and Camping) Southwest Minnesota Historical Sites

We have most of the southern portion of Minnesota to visit before the end of the year. That's when our Minnesota Historical Society membership expires...unless G.G. renews it again.
