Wednesday, November 4, 2026 Greater Seattle has 5 trolls. Jakob Two Trees stands in Issaquah, Kristine and Mike’s town. He was our first troll, seen last year when we trained here. Little did we know he would start on a path of finding so many trolls. I wore my new troll sweatshirt. I got it
Tuesday, November 3, 2026 It’s election day. We voted before we left. I tried all day not to think about it, because if a giant blue wave did not soak the entire country, I don’t know what I would do. As results started to come in, it was looking good, but Minnesota was looking RED.
Monday, November 2, 2026 We went to the zoo’s sister park to see the rest of the visiting trolls today. We started with a tram ride. The trams were super cute, and we got the back section seat as a group of four. Very comfy. The ceiling was glass and almost as good as a

Thursday, October 29, 2026 We met Catherine and Steve at Latuff’s Pizza and Pannekoeken restaurant for breakfast. It lasted for 4 hours. Wow, was it fun. Such delicious food and good conversation!

Wednesday, October 28, 2026 WOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!! I am the worst sports fan. Watching just about any game will have me hiding behind my fingers or a pillow or turning it off and immediately back on. I get very stressed. I have been peeking on the Brewers through their four-game sweep of the Dodgers and their 5

Tuesday, October 27. 2026 Part of my job today at elementary school was to be a morning greeter. The non-classroom teachers all have morning jobs helping kids get into school. My job was to stand outside and help keep the walkers in line by grade and to welcome them to school. Kids who are going
Monday, October 26, 2026 We didn’t have a massive show of colors this fall – it was more a few great trees at a time, either in the midst of still green or already bare around them. I came home from school today and noticed the beautiful trees are now in my front yard.
