Force fields 2026

B and I attended our first music festival last weekend. It was Force Fields in Cadott Wis. I have always wanted to bring my RV to a festival. This seriously was beyond what I had planned for. It was an incredible uplifting beautiful weekend. I LOVE EDM- techno- and this was a three day jammed packed event. We couldn’t see everyone but we got to see a ton. I learned some new favorite- Zeds Dead and Gamja white knights . Mind blown - I love this community. It’s full of PLUR- peace love unity and respect. Everyone I met lived this vibe. I wish there was more of that in the real world. Friendly, helpful and some many trinkets and Kandi to trade. Glad I was prepared. I had little aliens and stickers to share :) . It was so hard to come back to reality. I have the best rave buddy in B- thanks for joining me. He watches and jams while I shake my booty and dance !!! This weekend was exactly the vibe I had hoped for. It shifted me and I didn’t even know I needed it. 10/10 experience- I can’t wait to go next year. 

There was about 7500 campers and about 9000-10000 in attendance. 

Always better once the sun goes down 

So many funny totems !! 

Fireworks 

Lots of trading in the campgrounds 

The line up! 

I forgot to take pictures of us :) too busy dancing !!  

Tattoos on spot - not the time for me but still cool 

This is my kind of laser treatments - who needs a red light mask when you can get these lasers! 

VIP - so glad we went this way. Got closer to the main stage, had sitting with shade and real bathrooms that were clean. 

Little Kandi with my coffee

Teamwork award

 that forward. that forward.

Honored to receive the Excellence Through Teamwork Award as a part of the Ivenix Pump Implementation project.  

This team turned a complex initiative into an incredibly rewarding experience. The collaboration, dedication, and shared purpose each member brought to the work was inspiring, and every step of the process reflected thoughtful partnership and commitment to supporting practice needs.  This team continues to set the standard for safety, efficiency, and quality. I’m incredibly grateful to work with such an exceptional team! 

(I never thought I’d learn so much about tubing, IV pumps and interfaces!)

A part of the award was a fancy dinner with your plus one :) we had a key note speaker - Heather Young - we provided a wonderful talk about leadership, holding ourselves to purpose with boundaries and celebrating the team we are a part of. It was great night and fun to see everyone in person as some of the team only works online.

This is a small part of the group that helped. In total there was about 80 of us. Truly a career changing g experience! 

Spring is going fast

Axel got to attend early registration at Winona State University! He has declared that he will be in the engineering program. He got to meet some of his teachers and see his classrooms.

Ansels band concert! Saxophone  

Easter egg hunt :)
 

Free Big Macs for a year!

The new Mc Donald’s opened in Cannon Falls this week. With the opening they a deal for the first 50 customers: to have a free Big Mac a week for a year. B and I were intrigued and thought we would give it a try. The store opened at 6am, we were in line by 5am. Luckily we both got within the first 50. I was #41 and B was #42!!! 

We have 52 coupons for a free Big Mac or Egg McMuffin. Yeah!! 

To be honest I don’t know if I have eaten a Big Mac before this :) it was pretty good. I’m sure by the end of the year I’ll be sick of them but until then I’m going to enjoy!
