Tanner and Katie Engaged

This is the ring.

This is Katie who will marry Tanner.

Isn't it fun to have a family and then they get married and you get
to have even more family?! Katie is a sweet girl who will be a great
addition to our family! Congratulations!

The beach left a lot to be desired--the ducks owned it.

Cousins Camping

When the kids were growing up, my sister, John, and I would take all 8 kids camping a couple times a year. Lots of great memories made! Last weekend we did it again with the 8 kids and spouses and significant others, and one grandchild and one on the way. About 18 people in all. It was fun to all be together in the great outdoors!

Some of the group around the campfire. One night Jami had an ice breaker game we played and the other night we played Catch Phrase.
Kids are now enjoyable adults to be with!

Tyler brought his boat for skiing and tubing. We were at Lake Wissota State Park near Chippewa Falls. More memories made ;)

My kids

Oh My! What a good looking bunch of kids I have!! They all showed up at Grandma's memorial service color coordinated.

Kayak Therapy

On Tuesday evening Sheryl took me kayaking. It was so pretty out and just the therapy I needed--a good friend and nature!!!
We stayed til after sunset. Thanks Sheryl!

Date night was Chinese food and a full rainbow for dessert.

We drove up to Garvin Heights to see the view of Winona. This surely is a beautiful part of the country!
