Minnesota Christmas

We drove to Minnesota to be with our family for Christmas day and it was super fun to see our family and friends. I love going to my parents and taking a piping hot sauna. They have a wood fired stove. I saw 8 of my siblings, 2 of my sisters were in Monroe, Washington and 1 of my brothers was in Detroit, Michigan with their spouse's family. We also took all the dogs on some long walks. We all like dogs so whenever we get together there's about 7 dogs running around. The dirt road we walk down is really quiet and it rarely sees a car because there's only about 3 people that live on it

I love Minnesota it had a piece of my heart in it. I love the snowy winters, Caribou coffee tastes delicious, and it is always nice to see my family and friends that live there. Also living in Colorado is quite the experience, I've never lived by the mountains before and it is really pretty. We've bought a house here and we're lucky that my husband's job provides for us too. It isn't very hard to get somewhere to visit family in Minnesota or Idaho, or even Corpus Christi, Texas, we made it back in a day one time (my sister lives there) since we live in central U.S.A.

No specific title because I can't think of one

Hi I'm glad to finally blog again! I'm so excited because I have been meaning to write. I blogged 7 years ago but I couldn't find my blog, I wish I found it because I'm sure it would be very funny to read. Hahaha shoot I'm still going to look for it, I think I was trying to sound like a blogger by saying dumb stuff like this "it is lightly raining outside the ground is damp and the night is silent, but I hear a low whistle from the train." In other words I was trying very hard to be a blogger. Okay so I can't stop thinking about how cute this was! At the grocery store today there was people there very excited about my dolly baby girl and one was a toddler. She said "mom a baby, a baby baby baby baby!" I almost said something back along the lines of yeah love em when they can't run away yet or sass back to you haha. But instead I just smiled. Then there was an older girl with down syndrome and she was so happy to see a baby too she said

Coffee and cookies

I woke up in the morning and had a cookie and coffee and read about natural weed killer. I'm going to pick the weeds or spray them with an epsom salt combination. Here's the recipe- 1 gallon vinegar, 2 Cups Epsom salt, 1/4th Cup dawn dishwashing soap and spray it heavily first thing in the morning and the weeds will go away. Roundup is an herbicide that contains glyphosate which kills plants. There are other chemicals in it besides glyphosate that are damaging too. Monsanto introduced roundup in 1974 and it dominates the markets. That's not good because it is bad for our body and our wildlife. I don't mind some weeds, I think a little imperfection looks best. I don't want an immaculate yard in the suburbs. I want a yard with healthy squirrels, rabbits and birds and my baby and dog to breathe pure air and not step on chemicals. I grew herbs and flowers and I need to transplant them outside soon. I'm going to help build some raised garden beds too. Spring time is

Labor day golfing

Yesterday we went golfing with our friends here it was really fun. Carmen loves it, she props her foot up on the wheel and looks around. I bought her a little toothbrush and she sucks on it like a teething toy. We're excited today it is 85 degrees only because yesterday it was 100 degrees outside. If anybody ever visits Colorado and likes to golf and see pretty views, go to Marianna Butte in Loveland. last week I was going to town and cleaning my whole house and getting rid of junk. I threw away a $500 check I realized and it already went to the dump. Shoot! So I wasn't sleeping good that night and the next morning I woke up and called the place that sent the check and told them my problem. His name was Norman and he lived in Dallas, Texas. He was laughing about what I did and said yeah send that money my way if you can afford to throw away money. They're sending a new one now so I'm glad I fixed that.

Good day today
