Plasma car
Had some fun on my kids’ plasma car. I needed some help up the sidewalk 😆

Saying goodbye
I made a trip to Duluth today to spend time with my Aunt Deb who was placed on hospice on this past Monday. The drive was gloomy and wet, which fit the heaviness of the reason behind my visit.
Once at the hospital, I was able to spend about five hours beside Deb’s hospital bed. For most of the afternoon, she rested peacefully. Toward the end of my stay, she began getting restless. The nurses who cared for her were kind and worked to get her comfortable again by administering enough pain meds to calm her down.
Cancer is a horrible disease. It has taken a vibrant, sharp, kind, and confident woman from her friends and family. Her presence in our lives will be missed tremendously.
Before I left, I whispered to my aunt that I loved her and asked her to hug my sweet Astrid when she gets to heaven. I know she will be welcomed by a host of family and friends who are waiting for her when it is her time to pass from this life to the next.
Invisible cheese
If you have the chance and can find it, this invisible cheese is unreal.
My kids can probably tell you where you can find it if you’re having trouble tracking it down.
Seriously.

Finally found a word that defines my frantic attempt to get ready before someone comes over. Several of my friends told me that they can relate.
Ash Wednesday 2022
Ashes on our foreheads after attending mass tonight. Let the season of Lent begin.
Feeding a family
I never know just how much I’m going to need when it comes to making dinner. I try to always error on a bit too much. I’m a fan of leftovers, so extra food means lunch the next day is easy.
I caught up with one of my uncles last week and during our conversation, he asked what I make for dinner (since there are 6 of us to feed.) I told him sheet pan dinners are a favorite of mine since they’re often so easy to put together.
I made one tonight, so I decided to send him a picture.
Friends 💗
We got to celebrate my godson’s birthday this afternoon. I didn’t get a picture with him this time, but I DID get one with his mom!
Orchids for Astrid
Jake and I took a stained glass class together at The Artery Studio tonight. It was so much fun!
We received three orchid plants after our daughter Astrid died, but I was never able to get them to bloom a second time. We made these to remember our sweet little girl 💗 (and bonus, they don’t need to be watered!)
