We played Escape the Room: Secret of Dr. Gravely’s Retreat tonight and had a lot of fun solving the various puzzles. We successfully escaped with 7 minutes remaining on the 120 minute timer! Fun time! 🔓

Tammy likes Christmas Gnomes so I decided to get her one that is near life size. 
Santa brought me a lefse shirt! This is a serious Minnesota level up! 
Santa brought me an ornament to go with the hot tub! 🎄🎅 
On a movie roll this Christmas with Family Switch tonight. Fairly goofy movie but fun for the family. 
If you’d like to “listen along” with our family our Christmas Things playlist on Apple Music is the vibe that we like. Many classics with some more niche add ins. 🎄🎶 https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/christmas-thing/pl.u-vxVpMsgJqDJ
Starting Christmas Eve with an amazing cup of Dreamy Melon from the ever amazing Pair Cupworks.
"Dreamy Melon! – We’ve sold some pretty great coffees this year, but this one is probably the top. Clean, crisp sucrose sweetness, and fragrant melon flavor – this marvelous flavor is a result of meticulous processing including constant monitoring, temperature control, and finely tuned fermentation."
A truly delightful cup. Very subtle flavor tones. Smooth with very little bite. Would agree on the clean, crisp taste. One of the best coffees I’ve ever had. ☕️

I received my Rabbit R1 tonight! I only had time to get it out of the box, do the basic setup, and get it updated. Will play more later.
Helped Tyler order the first three components for his Gaming PC. He’s officially starting that project. Fun!

Cannon Lake Flooded https://www.thingelstad.com/2024/06/23/cannon-lake-flooded.html
On our walk around Lake Harriet today we took a stroll through the Rose Garden as well. There were many roses out in full bloom but it seemed like they had either been battered heavily in the rain or were maybe a bit past their prime. Probably a bit of both.
Just heard the water level on Cannon Lake is expected to increase another foot. Time to head to the cabin to make sure things will be okay. 🛟
The grapes in our backyard are coming along. 🍇
Going to be a long night with Dotson going out on a red card 🟥 in the 26th minute. Ugh! Go United! ⚽️
