Saturday, August 26, 2023 What a glorious thing a day with no plans is. There is so much potential! I quickly learned that the day wasn’t completely without plan – Keith had a 9am rehearsal in River Falls. I decided to go along with him so we could listen to our audiobook and I would

Friday, August 25, 2023 Alexander came for pizza. We used a lot of flour to keep the dough from sticking to the peel and it was everywhere, but the pizza didn’t stick. He fell asleep after supper and then, because we were being quiet, Keith fell asleep. Then I fell asleep. Overall, it was a

Thursday, August 24, 2023 We had to go shopping for food. I am very proud we (Keith) (I was busy sitting) cooked for the first two days we’ve been back. We went to Five Guys on the way to Sam’s – we are ready for some more cooking tomorrow. They’ve had Halloween stuff out for

Wednesday, August 23, 2023 I came home to a torn floatie. It wasn’t as torn as it is now – I floated in it for quite a while to achieve this sad state. This is my favorite, because I am mostly in the water while I am on it (in it?). I told Keith I

August 22, 2023 I don’t think I even went 1500 steps. I started practice walking on July 10. I walked more than 15,000 steps each day in Florida. Today I just sat and sat and sat. Bwahahahahaha! Minnesota welcomed us home with 97 degrees and a dew point of 80 – in other words, it

Monday, August 21, 2023 We woke up at 7 to get the virtual queue for Guardians of the Galaxy and discussed how long we could go back to sleep. The estimated time for our ride was 11, so I said 8:45 and Keith said 8:30, and I agreed that 15 extra minutes of sleep wasn’t

Sunday, August 20, 2023 Monorails were waiting for us as we zipped through security with no beeps. I ate a lot of cheezits in the dvc lounge (mad with power as Alexander would/did say). Our Guardians virtual queue was at the perfect time. We spontaneously decided to go to the Studio and took the skyliner,

Saturday, August 19th, 2023 I had a plan. It involved three parks and a nap. We really needed the nap after less than 6 hours of sleep last night. We got to three parks. We thought we’d be at the studio for a couple hours in the morning and then head back for a nap.

Friday, August 18, 2023 Look at those numbers. How’s great are they? A palindrome and 1234. The friends left at 8:30am, which was sad and weird. This is the friend trip! They should still be here. I took my first solo trip to Magic Kingdom. I played in the caves on Tom Sawyer’s Island a

Thursday, August 17, 2023 Today is my brother-in-law Thom’s birthday. Thinking of you today, Thom. Disney World takes pictures on lots of rides and feeds them into your account so you can buy them. Because our accounts are linked, Maren can see all of our pictures. She has found it hilarious that in all of
