This past weekend I decided last-minute to make the journey back to my parents’ house in Minot for a few days. I hitched a ride with my good pal Paul, and we took the scenic route through small town, ND. Usually when I go to Minot, I’ll head north then west, or west then north — but we took the backroads, clear-cut diagonal route.
From our stop in Harvey, ND — payphones, roast beef sandwiches, and the most delicious and gigantic ice cream cone of the decade — for just $1.50!
Me & my delectable treat. Drooling thinking about it.

I was invited to attend the Black Eyed Peas concert with family and we had a blast. Good music and great company for such a worthy cause — Minot flood relief. Josh Duhamel made an appearance and some heartfelt opening remarks, then Fergie and her crew rocked the stage. It was unforgettable!

Waiting for the concert to begin…with thousands of other people! The turnout was unbelievable.
BEP lit up the sky with lasers and confetti! **WOW**

There was plenty of family time and relaxing — grilling, games, and good company! I was never bored, hungry, or tired. Just right.
Mom & Grandma ponder garden things. Wish I could have gotten a soundbyte from this conversation.
After dinner, a ginormous and somewhat competitive game of croquet occurred. No one was hurt.
Olive: still cute, still doing Olive things

I am back in the studio — which isn’t too far, since I just converted the garage at my house into my studio space! (!!!!!) I am so excited about this. I literally walk 25 feet from my studio and I’m at my house. Can I get an AMEN to NO MORE DRIVING HOME FROM SCHOOL AT 3am?!?
I hope you enjoyed Labor Day Weekend as much as I did. I am so happy to be in a new place (finally settled) and loving the season. This. Is. My. Favorite. Time of year! Fall, fall, fall, fall, fall.
best,
