Time for our traditional New Years Eve fondue dinner.
Movie tonight was Free Guy and it was pretty fun! The various riffs on gamer culture were all really funny. Tammy’s pick. 🍿
Today is Lucky’s 2nd birthday! She is officially no longer a puppy. Mazie and I took her on a nice, cold, snowy walk and she loved it. She got a lot of treats, and much extra attention today.

Today’s board game was Settlers of Catan! We messed up the rules more than a few times, and the game took a long time to wrap up, but still liked it. Tyler’s pick. Mazie won.
Totally enjoyed In The Heights tonight. Great movie and incredible performances. Wow. My movie pick. 🍿
Tonight’s board game was Photosynthesis. Mazie’s pick, and she won with a good lead! 🌳
Visiting A Central Minnesota Farm by Layne Kennedy
My friend and amazing photographer Layne Kennedy put together this short video of life on a Central Minnesota Farm. I love how he captures it all so well. I’ve been lucky enough to take classes with Layne and his talent is amazing.
I had the fortunate opportunity to visit a neighbor’s family farm several times this summer and document some of the activities there. Really, it was just done for fun. This was not meant as a documentary, but something for the family to share life on the farm with extended family. The little things like harvesting sweet corn to donate to the local church, protecting lands for wildlife habitat and wildflowers, gathering everyone for meals during a Vikings game, and the traditions of deer hunting and gathering of friends all part of farm life here.
It is a wonderful video.

Lucky enjoys snow so much. When it is snowing she wants to be outside all the time. She eats mouthfuls of snow whenever she can. She seems completely at home in the snow. ❄️
