A Day In The Life

Scott had to work today so it was just Meadow and I for breakfast. We have been putting Meadow to bed later which makes us stay up later and then everybody sleeps in in the morning. We ate breakfast fast to make it to the farmers market.

I accidentally brought a camera without a memory card. Oops. After  Meadow and I biked to the farmers market we went up to North Mississippi Regional Park. I wanted to scope out the area for Meadow's birthday party coming up. I let Meadow play on the playground before we headed home.

It's nice to see more things available at the market. 

That whole work thing didn't work out. It was too dang cloudy for my blue sky loving client. 

I picked up a fishing pole to go with my Wisconsin fishing license. Maybe I'll catch a fish before the end of the summer.

While Meadow napped I got to working on her birthday invites. Scott thought I was making tombstones.

That would've been quite morbid. I think these are popsicles.

Then we fixed our lights over our backyard. This looks so much better than having them draped in the branches. 

It could use a few more strands of lights.

We have been getting a lot more strawberries this year.

They have gotten a bit tart as the seasons progressed.

She's always running away from us.

I caught up to her as she made it to the front stairs.

Since I was at home and not at my shoot I made ropa vieja (with venison) with black beans and plantains maduros.

We thought Meadow would have loved this meal, but she only ate the rice and a few beans.

Actually all of the beans. I think she gets disappointed when she finds out the plantains aren't bananas.

We ended the night playing some croquet with the neighbor kids. One of them was moving away so I caved in for a few rounds.

Morning Sushi and a Cold Stroll Down St. Anthony Main

After our dessert sushi last week I thought it would be fun to have breakfast sushi. The rice krispies, bananas and peanut butter made a repeat appearance. I had Scott make a couple crepes to use as the nori.  I made a few different varieties. The ones that had peanut butter fillings rolled up a lot better. Wish we had gotten Nutella. Meadow and I had a chopstick fight after we were finished. We debated on going ice skating since this weekend was the last that rinks were open. Instead we decided to take a walk around St Anthony Main. We might be moving to this area this summer. We wanted to check out the parking situation. I think it will work for us. Despite it being sunny and in the 30's the wind made it feel really chilly. Meadow decided to hitchhike along Main Street. One of the reasons we're thinking of moving is that we miss living in a walkable neighborhood. I love biking, but it would be great to go out

Faster Than The Speeding Bullet That Took The Life Of Your Radio

Walking out to my car after another boring day at Menards a man comes running up to me asking if he can use my phone. His car died and he had to call his friend. I dialed holding the phone to his ear with my other hand on my box cutter knife. He pulls out some money and asks if I'd give him a ride to the corner store down the street. Before I answer he jumps in my car. Gripping my phone ready to call 911 if I had to and not buckling my seat belt in case I needed to jump out. Every possible situation that could go wrong flashed through my head. As we got nearer to the store he tells me to keep driving. He asks me if I ever dated a black man before and that I'm so fine. I answered telling him I was going to tell my boyfriend he said that. He got all worried and kept saying no because he'll be mad at him. We kept driving and my heart was racing wondering where exactly we were going. Half a mile later he tells me to pull over and he gets out. He then hands me 5$ and thanks me f

4th of 2024

  This year we came up the night before the 4th. By the next morning it was already parade time.  I was excited for the parade, but feel like we missed out by arriving at the last second. (I'm always making this face when it's sunny. I blame my glasses). No Chelsea this year as she prepares to have a baby. Also I guess everyone is over the matching tie dyed shirts.  Or me since I was taking the picture. Hey it's our neighbor Mike. Every year his WWII Jeep gets a new addition. I still love the lawn chair ladies. Not much to say about the parades except small town parades are the best.  Well, this was the longest parade we'd ever seen up in Three Lakes. And the bountiful breasts of KK's Chicken Ranch made the parade. Next to the Chair Lady Brigade the Swamp Witch as the best part.  Daniel, Theo and I decided to skip the book sale and went straight to the park. Mmmm... Blake and I settled for the library book sale. They had a better process this year by only allowing a
