Momentous and critters





My grandson, Danny Jr. Graduate FHS 2026 from Farmington Tiger football to UMD-Bulldog football!


Welcome to my "Momentous" post and how thankful I am for the continued flow of life's daily little wonders as well as the big ones!

It's been a memorable family experience again since my daughter and granddaughter flew in for Danny's graduation, among other events like my granddaughter Karina's Synergy Dance Recital!

Rusty sends his love, but he already knows he'll miss this kiddo once he begins living in Duluth.




To me, the most perfect companions never have fewer than four feet.

Animals are the best right?

 


Bravo Danny Jr!




The happy couple on their graduation day!

Pretty special they'll both be attending, University of Minnesota Duluth!


"If it was to be a time of momentous changes, then why not allow oneself to be swept along?" Paul Russell 


 


When the positive mind takes the lead. My humans are out there, and they need to get me too!



A few of Danny's fans!

Five of my eight grandchildren. Missing Airman Ethan and 2 step-grandchildren, Carter and Audrey in spirit but who couldn't be here in person.




Take time to stop and watch things that wander by, even if you feel you're too busy to share in the moment and snap a photo. It just may be the thing that saves your day from ho-hum to bliss. 




My little girl (also a U of M graduate Minneapolis-Gophers) and her little girl and one more year to her HS graduation.




The proud parents. My son Dan and his wife Heather.





Pink is the thing!


My granddaughter Karina from this year's 2026 Dance Recital and she had 5 incredible performances featured in two programs 12:00pm and again at 3:30! What a day of spirit and gusto from all the dancers!






Karina top row right side leg in the air! Amazing!

The important thing about tree stumps, is what you see and feel inside.








Can we ever have too many trees in our lives?
To me trees, are like good friends who care about others.
They always give and never take.
Trees are like good caring people.







This pup is going to miss his kiddo once he moves to Duluth.




What does Emme have to say? 

"What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while."
