The Week, in Photos

Tina's and Pierre's families were out of town this week, so they stayed with us. They were highly energetic, but I was able to get some photos of them, and Piper, when they were all tuckered out from playing hard.

It's like a sleeping dog train.

Wanting to help the basement guy, the plumber, the counter guy.
Tina and Pierre were very vocal about this desire!
Piper just wanted to know what the fuss was.

Pierre's family brought some Belgian chocolate.

On Friday night, I realized that I need to get $28 of donations per day to meet my goal in time. I mentioned it on Facebook. Annie T. donated $28 to give me some time to figure out a plan, while Annie P., Ann S., Ann M. (yes, a theme!), Andre, Jen, and Veronika offered some ideas.


I got this for Annie P. who likes my pilgrim hat-
wearing bitmoji. I'm adding a surcharge to help my fundraising.

I meant to order three of these for Ann S. and her daughters,
but accidentally ordered them pilgrim hat-wearing
bitmoji shirts, too. Whoops! Wear helmets, girls!

Andre suggested a hard lemonade stand, and Ann M.
offered up her kids' stand - we just need to add "hard"
and change the price to $28/cup. But it is cold, so
Andre suggested an Irish whiskey stand. Tempting!

Ann S. is a stylist for Color Street nails. She set up a fundraiser
to help sell the press-on, dry nail polish strips. 25% of each sale
goes to my fundraising goal.

While all that was happening, Matt and I went out for my longest ride since October. Close to 50 miles, under 40 degrees.


We were very high viz. I got these new
transition cycling glasses that work great.
My scar is under wraps because I want to
keep the sun off it for as long as possible.

View of the Mississippi from the Stone Arch Bridge. Not as flooded as St. Paul but very turbulent. I hope they're getting some good water powered energy from all this craziness.



 I got a donation from my sister and a couple of people are buying the nail things, so I only need to raise $26 per day to hit my goal by May 18!
