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.

Yardwork, Ikea and Pumpkins

My new parents-in-law got us a dehydrator for the wedding. Knowing we were going to be cleaning up the garden and going to farmer's market, we took a gander at our millionth kitchen device during breakfast.   Scott added granola to his oatmeal.  The oatmeal was rather bland, just the way Brooke likes it.   Scott was actually cleaning up so I had to take a quick photo of him as proof.  Scott told me he was, "putting a blanket down for Peanut," while singing. During the winter months peanut needs a warm place to peer through the window. Seeing as it was nearly November, I setup his blanket for him. Seeing as the farmers market season is dwindling down, we headed to the market...once again. The close proximity to the cities central farmer's market has to be one of the best assets of living in NoMi. We were both amazed by the bounty of produce still on sale. We quickly filled up our first bag and took it back to the car....

Beaver Creek State Park Hiking Club (with a Layover at Frontenac State Park)

After we dropped Meadow off at school on Friday morning I made some last second plans to camp in southern Minnesota this weekend. Once we picked up Meadow we headed towards Red Wing. Red Wing Brewing has some really great pizza. The crust is something special. So we stopped there for dinner. Getting back to pre-COVID life is a bit strange, but we're getting used to it.

Ice Skating Off the Gunflint Trail

Last year we made a trip up to the Gunflint Trail and Voyageur Canoe Outfitters for Brooke's birthday. Due to a faulty pump the VCO folks provided us with a complimentary stay in 2026. So with the kids off in mid-January we took them up on that. We stopped for the night at Blake's house on our way to the Gunflint. He had recently acquired my Grandma's old Apple computer.  The kids were blown away by the old style computers. Then they decided to write a story and were sad that it couldn't be saved.  Blake's winter project this year is working on his library.  When we arrived, Daniel was working on wallpapering the vestibule.  I didn't know you could wallpaper with fabric.  I think this was the wallpaper . We decided to get breakfast at Uncle Loui's in Downtown Duluth. This place is still great. Meadow approves.  Theo needed to use the bathroom just as we were driving by Gooseberry Falls. Was a good excuse to also check out the falls.  Getting down to t...
