About Me

My photo
I enjoy living in the country, walks in the fields with my little friend, Sophie, traveling, camping, gardening, and playing with the grandboys! My best friends are my sisters, my dog, and my kindle! I am happiest and most at peace by bodies of water. My greatest happiness will come from greeting my children and grandchildren in Heaven someday!

Merry Christmas!

We traded ugly sweaters for Christmas this year. I believe the winner was Joe, the tall guy with the red girly sweater but we all looked stunning! Even Isaac and Andrew had new sweaters!















Following is a quick update of 2010. I hope the next will be as fun!

April brought a much needed trip to Florida with my sisters. This is the first time we have done this and are committed to making it a yearly event!


In Aug, sister Barb and I went to Duluth and Lutsen for a few days.

We lost our faithful little Mags in April. She is missed and always in our memory. Thanks Maggie for your true companionship for 14 great years!

Summer

Summer was spent doing a few camping trips with family....


We got to have Isaac for a week and really get to know him and spoil him! He is an awesome little boy!

Went to a couple Twins games at the new Target field. I have to admit outdoor baseball is nice...but it wasn't raining when we went.
