The Past Few Weeks

So much has happened in the past few weeks that I thought the easiest way to catch up is to give you a photo time line of it. (At least if I have appropriate photos)

May 14-16, 2009 - I mark 10 years of being diabetic.

(The only photo of me in the hospital)

May 22, 2009 - David and Rita’s 5th Wedding Anniversary! We spent All day together, even though it was in the car on the way to Josiah and Adam’s wedding in Ohio…

May 24, 2009 - Josiah and Adam’s wedding! A crazy weekend, as mentioned previously, but so good to be a part of it!

May 26, 2009 - David has his Master’s Defense. I was able to go and enjoyed seeing him present the work he has been doing over the past 2 years. He passed!

May 29, 2009 - My Mom’s 60th Birthday (to be celebrated in August). David and I repack our car with camping gear and luggage and head start for Minnesota. We get as far as my sister’s in Ontario for the night.

May 30, 2009 - Drive from Ontario to the end of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. A beautiful quite drive! Except the rain and hail we had briefly before reaching the UP.

May 31, 2009 - Arrive to MN. Visit with David’s parents and brother, who is also visiting MN for the weekend.

June 1, 2009 - David and I drove Jon to the Airport in Minneapolis and visit John and Heather while we were there. David was sick on the way home. Not much fun.

(Rather old photo of John and Heater for kicks)

June 4, 2009 - Rested from being sick. Mom Hjelle and I worked on turning a favorite, but worn out, pair of jeans into a nice skirt.

June 5, 2009 - I had a coffee date with My Dear Deborah! She is a woman who I have been e-mailing for the past 6 months and she has been such an encouragement to me. It was wonderful meeting her in person! (Deborah, you are great! Thank you for a wonderful 2 hours, I came home floating!) After supper David and I headed to the Spoon Carver’s Gather in Milan, MN.

June 6, 2009 - The Spoon Carver’s Gathering in Milan, MN. My reason for begging for a trip to MN. A fantastic day of talking with other spoon carvers. I hope to write more about it later.

June 10, 2009 - A quick whirl wind of a trip to Sioux Center to visit Arie and a few friends. I visited with the Los’ and David with the Super.

June 11, 2009 - David, his parents and I made a trip to Itasca State Park to see the headwaters of the Mississippi. We stayed in a hostel together overnight.

June 12, 2009 - David and I drove the North Shore (of Lake Superior) all the way to Thunder Bay. Stopping a few times on the way.

June 13, 2009 - After stopping at the Farmer’s Market, we drove from Thunder Bay to Sault St. Marie. one of the most beautiful drives I’ve ever driven. Our campsite was nicely located right by the beach.

Jume 14, 2009 - Drove from Sault St. Marie to my sister’s house.

Now we are home again, June 15, 2009. It was a wonderful trip, a crazy few weeks but good.
