Life lately

Life has been a crazy combination of getting Delanie ready for her next great adventure and trying to figure out what life looks like for Jim and I as empty-nesters.  

This was Jim after the company left......LOL! 😇


Delanie spent the last few weeks practicing for drum line tryouts at UNT.  




And enjoying the Minnesota summer......



Things started getting real when she started the official countdown.  




When the day arrived for Delanie to say good-bye, we spent the day downtown Minneapolis.


First on the agenda was brunch at the Black Coffee Waffle Bar.  


Then the Mpls Sculpture Gardens......


My favorite part of exploring that day was crossing the Ashbery Bridge.  


After we said our good-byes, I was feeling a bit lost.  The house was super quiet so I curled up on Delanie's bed.  


Jim knew exactly what to do to make me laugh!! 😊

If you know me, you know that I LOVE MOVIES.  Any kind of movies.  


So that's what I did all day Sunday.


Jim checked on me during my movie marathon.  (He was in the basement playing video games.)  Instead of walking his super-fine bootie upstairs, he Face-Timed me.  😐

That guy knows how to make me smile every single time.  


Jim loves the latest gadgets.  In fact, if its on the market, Jim has it.  

Exhibit A:  The "Ring" doorbell....


Yep folks.....we now get text alerts when someone rings the door bell.  

That's my man! 💛


This is what my lunch has looked like this week.  A quick visit to the taco bar then back to my car to listen to a Creative Empire podcast.  


I've been obsessed with doodle-notes lately so this is the way I "study" my podcast notes.  

Kinda cool, right??


And finally..... summer is in full bloom in Minnesota.  

These hydrangeas are bigger than my head!! 

 

Well, friends.....that's life lately!
