I got that hat a few years ago when the team played in Saint Paul. It was Carli Lloyd’s last cap.

I built my own bus stop monitor using a Raspberry Pi 5 mini computer connected to a 7-inch touchscreen display.

Now, when I’m putting on my shoes, I know exactly how many minutes I have before the next bus arrives.

I built my backyard for nights like these! #stpaul #stpaulmn #mn #summer #backyard

A lush backyard with clover and flowers along with a garage mural with a nature scene and patio lighting. A coffee table with feet propped up and a beer is in the foreground.

Then, we had a mason patch a hole in the foundation that was an old, rotting window the previous owners had just walled over on the inside.
