A Love the Sauna!

 

We have been enjoying the sauna.  We use it probably 3-4 times a week.  Only one time we almost "killed" ourselves - it was waaay to hot.  We now know what we can tolerate...I almost...almost...can't wait for snow.  Haha

I had to do a sleep study at the hospital.  I think a CPAP is in my future.  


Have any of you seen the Northern Lights?  Quite the show a week or so back.  



These are actually not good pictures.  Some of the colors people we capturing on their phones were amazing.  You could see them dance like in the last picture.  


Look at us babies!  I have an engagement ring on my finger, this must have been Al's 21st birthday.  We were 21 when we married.  Not sure what I would tell that girl in the picture.  Probably nothing, I wouldn't change any of it - good and bad.

More countries we studied for Grandma Bird's home school day, Nepal and Norway.  






I can't remember the name of these, but they were delicious.  Dipping sauce was a bit spicy but so good.



Lefse - was a bit thick, but for our first attempt it was good.  Lauren LOVED these!  

I fell twice last week.  I would share the photo, but I've made that mistake before and everyone all of a sudden is a doctor - hahaha.  The first fall was at Lauren's soccer game, I slipped on a hill.  The second was just a few hours later at church I stumbled on a rock.  My ankle went one way, my knee the other and face plant on the ground.  I thought for sure I broke something.  Thank the Lord I didn't.  I had to do that blended market show the next day.  I could hardly walk.  I somehow made it.  It has been so bruised...really bruised...it hurts to walk but I'm able to.  Sucks to get old.  And my neurological whatever I have they can't diagnose makes me older, weaker and off balance.  And No, it's not MS they tested me for that.  Like I said - everyone is a doctor .... it's been annoying explaining this over and over.  

This week we do a "pick up, clean up" of an estate we have been helping with for a year.  The family has been going through 3 levels of this home - 1 room at a time.  It was VERY FULL.  We are taking a trailer to pick up remaining inventory.  Then we plan to sell on our online site over the next couple months.  I have been trying to stick with my "I work and the office is open on Tuesdays from 1-6 pm."  Self employment will run you if you don't set some boundaries.  

Well, have a good week!  

Blessings from Ringle, Wisconsin.

  1. Your sauna looks awesome and relaxing. I am not going to pretend I am a doctor and just lets hope you dont fall anymore. I missed the Northern Lights and so mad at myself. Seems like everyone but me saw them. Hopefully there will be a next time. Never have seen them yet. Good luck with your pick up and have a great week. Janice

    1. Thanks Janice, it is awesome! I have been trying to be very careful, it's the one time...you think you can...but you can't. (sad face). My neighbor's farm is up higher than ours and she was did something to her camera to really slow it down and her photos were so beautiful. I hope you have a great week too!

  3. Glad you're making good use of the sauna...that's one thing I just can't do. I am too claustrophobic...and the steam makes me feel like I can't breathe. Ahhh...the good old sleep study. I had that done years ago but I refused to let anyone watch me sleep so they allowed me to do it at home. I have sleep apnea but refuse to do a CPAP (yeah, I guess I'm an obstinate sort) and was fitted with an oral device. I haven't used that either for a long time...I might look into that implant option it becomes bothersome again. I wish you remembered what those little things were you made...they look interesting. LOVE the photo of young you and Al. You are so beautiful!!! You still are of course - but you know what I mean. I missed the lights this time around...didn't catch the comet either. Sigh. Sorry to hear about the falls...hope you recover soon. Unfortunately, I know what it's like. ~Robin~
