Hey all- We are alive, feel bad that it's been so long. It's not that we have had a super crazy past two months or anything, i just didn't feel like I had all that much to talk about. So here we go, some one-timers for you on what's been going on in the world of SnL.
- Had a great Memorial Day weekend this weekend. Got off work Friday at noon and came home and mowed while Lisa worked around the house. Friday night we had supper at Big Dog's in Upper North (better than expected) and then had some friends over and had a bonfire Friday night.
- Saturday, we slept till 9 (it's been a long time since we have done that) and got up and did our normal Saturday morning tradition of going to the Hub for breakfast. After breakfast we picked something up for my mom, ran to the farmers market and got some rhubarb & strawberry jam and some rhubarb. We then jumped in the car and drove over to Nicollet to Schmidts Meat Market. The place was way crazier than I expected...Tons of meat options and I could have spent A LOT of money there. We picked up two packages of Philly cheese steak brats and a package of pineapple brats (heard about them the night before and got they got rave reviews, so we got them). After a stop at a friends house we were back in 'kato to get groceries.
- I grilled a package of the philly cheesesteak brats (amazing) and hotdogs (refuse to eat them...they were for Lisa's sister Robyn who joined us for supper and a movie) and made supper before before heading to see Night at the Museum 2. Good movie, not the first one, but good enough indeed. My favorite part might have been the six year old girl behind us that said "Is that the guy from Marly and Me" when owen wilson came on the screen. After the movie we came back to the house and I dominated a game of Rummy (which never happens). After we did dishes and Robyn left, I turned on Saturday Night Live and we went to bed.
- I am convinced this will be the summer of grilling... I think we've done it like six of the last seven days and I hope to continue the trend.
- One quick sidenote... I've always been a huge fan of Saturday Night Live, as has Lisa, but this season was one of the best ever... One of my favorite sketches (which was one Saturday) is this one.
- Sunday we woke up, watched some Jon and Kate + 8 and then packed and headed to Ringsted. Back home we did the tour of grandparents before coming home for pork patties on the grill. After supper we went out to see Jerry and Roxanne's new house and a couple of cold ones. Afterwards back in the house to watch the Twins finish the weekend sweep of the Brewers and hit the hay... Today, I helped Bryon and Brooke move upstairs and dad grilled before we headed back to 'kato.
- Now watching the rest of last season's Jon & Kate + 8 (we are 1:08 away from the much anticipated new season). I like the show, Kate drives me crazy, but i kinda feel bad for the kids with all the stuff going on right now with the family. Hopefully they can figure it out.
- Sports are done for the year and we will await to see where we finish in the Director's cup. I am thinking we'll be in the top four or five nationally, which again will be awesome. Our women's track team had a great showing at the outdoor championships last weekend, with Katelin Rains, our senior pole vaulter, claiming her fourth career pole vaulting title (and first ever outdoor).
- The better half has been hammering away at work and complains more and more about going as each day gets nicer. I don't disagree with her, it's tough to be cooped up in an office when it is really nice out.
- Last weekend we planted a bunch of flowers and they are starting to take. We also planted a green pepper which we hope will bear plenty of fruit for us this summer.
- I hate to admit it, but I've really gotten into birding over the last 18 months. We have two feeders out (our finch haven't been by lately). Our other feeder has had a few cardinals this summer which really has been exciting, but the stupid blackbirds have been eating too much out of there lately so i gotta get a different type of feed.
- Lisa just baked a Rhubarb cake, so I'm anxious to see how it tastes.
- That is really about all that's been new with us lately. I really hope that I can start doing a better with updating the blog.
hope everyone is doing well. Thanks to our service men and women for all you do, have done and will do.
