Monday, June 1, 2026 Keith and I had lunch with Gary and Julie before they traveled home today, abandoning Donna, Nancy, and David. They weeded in our yard. Yay. They were heading to Panera when we got home, so I went along. We were waiting for the buzzer thing they give you to buzz so […]

Sunday, May 31, 2026 We had a beautiful day for our boat party. Everyone boarded in time – no one was left waving on the shore. It was so nice floating down the river with so many good friends.

Saturday, May 30, 2026 Nancy and David arrived today for our anniversary tomorrow. Keith played a concert tonight. Nancy and I were sitting on the couch when the garage door went up. We both said, “Hide!” And did. Why? No idea.

Friday, May 29, 2026 We met Alexander at Obb’s for dinner. He had something for us and we had something for him, so it was a plan. When I opened his front passenger door to get my stuff, I commented, “Oh, look, sugar.”A fairly long time ago – maybe a year or two or four

Thursday, May 28, 2026 I worked at elementary school field day today, helping to run the tug of war. I had no idea tug of war was still a thing. I thought it got banned when safety was invented. It was the best place to be! It was great fun, especially when we invited the

Wednesday, May 27, 2026 As the hours of yesterday passed, the vision in my left eye got better and better. I checked in with the doctor this morning and everything looked good and I can see! I won’t say I didn’t think it would happen, but I didn’t think it could happen! I am delighted.

Tuesday, May 26, 2026 I went for cataract surgery this morning at 9am. The idea was that my retina was all healed but had inspired cataracts to be so in my left eye that I couldn’t see much (hence no depth perception and falling down occasionally). I really didn’t know what to expect other than

Monday, May 25, 2026 The new greatest thing is to come home from a trip and have someone bring you dinner!! What an amazing treat! Jeffrey, Johanna, and Adalynn brought us a Memorial Day feast. We provided the only thing we had in the house – condiments. Adalynn took Lightning McQueen out for his inaugural

Sunday, May 24, 2026 We flew home via Dublin, because Aer Lingus was half the price of Delta. We’ve still never officially been to Ireland because we didn’t leave the airport, but it still felt fun to stop there. I had my best airplane meal ever – chicken breast with mushroom sauce and some light

Saturday, May 23, 2026 We didn’t actually start the day with a twisty popsicle, except we basically did. We’d dropped our luggage off and had breakfast and walked to World of Adventure. It was a hot day – it was cold four days ago! I was ready for a cold treat. We went to see
