She's with the band

 

Rachel and I took a roadtrip to Mankato, MN to see her fellow's band
play at the Red Sky Lounge.
Peter plays a smooth harmonica.
 

 

Reminders for Fishermen

 

 

 

Delaced/Defaced

These shoes were chock full of miles.
Loved them, used them well, and about to recycle them...
but not without first taking the good parts...the laces.
 My new running shoes get the old laces
 and become part of a generation of smelly road runners.

Bunny Stalking

I followed a bunny and I liked it.
The hunt of the little rabbit.
I followed a bunny just to try it.
And I hope the little guy didn't mind.
He was so calm.
The light was right.
Tried hard not to be in his sight.
I followed a bunny and I liked it.
I liked it.

For Mama Bear

From time to time, we get away from work and the apartment.
We smile and laugh at each other.
We find time to enjoy together.
Some day, you can watch us battle at cribbage over coffee and tea.
We love you.
 We are blessed.
 

Well...

Introduced to RumChata infused Nutella, graham cracker, butter balls this weekend.
Who comes up with this stuff?
 

Bird song

I came out of the library whistling back at this guy.
My mother spotted him and I in turn ran to grab my camera, strategically placed in my car.
I whipped out my big boy lens with zoom and clipped this one of Red singing to the ladies.
It's the little things that get me. 

Old case, new case. Red and blue case.

Old pillow case.

Good morning, America

Breakfast of granny smith, kale, mango smuice and water.
 

Good stuff, Maynard.

A spring walk

FOUND A WATERING HOLE!

Let awkward and awesome ensue...

Natural progression of things...

Senior pictures...

 Love that girl.

Most adventures are best shared with someone you love.

First time Quinoa-er

Successfully made a quinoa dish with spinach, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.
Plentiful protein...quinoa packs a punch.
Next: Whole wheat apple cinnamon bread...

...Go Brewers

When I run, I wear a hat.
Broke out the old brewer cap today.
Tis the season.

Family trees

A tree for every member of the family.
I started this painting for my parents when I lived back in LaCrosse.
I will finish this painting before I fly off to China
I was a different person when I started it, making it interesting to pick up where I left off.
Isn't that how life is sometimes?

The cousin.

Don't mess with this Iowegian.

Juicing it.

My first fruit and veggie smuice. (Smoothie/juice)
Kale, Carrot, Mango, and Strawberry.
I feel the germination of a beautiful relationship between fresh fruits and veggies and my blender.

This is the way we brush our teeth

You only get to wear the cool shades when you brush your teeth.
