Saturday, June 10, 2023 We leave tomorrow at 5am for Alaska. Of course, I left the packing (for the most part) until today. I’m a pretty good packer – usually. This trip is such a mystery that I am a bit at a loss. We found a list online of what to bring. Some of […]

Friday, June 9, 2023 I had a little cream left over from making a sauce earlier this week and since we are going to be gone, I needed to use it up. What to do? Make an angel food cake, of course! My friend, Maren, was coming over to have a chat by the pool

Thursday, June 8, 2023 After a day in and by the pool with my friend, Christina, Keith and I headed to Clear Lake to listen to the Northwinds Brass Band. Our friend, Mike, plays in the band. The band was actually set up on the street just down from their house. We wondered where Mary

Saturday, June 3, 2023 Keith wins a best dad award today, and it isn’t even Father’s Day. After Alexander tried and returned the shoes from the first Bubba Gump’s expedition, Keith really went on the hunt. Nike doesn’t make the shoes that Alexander has been wearing (out) anymore, but Keith found some (very lightly) used
Friday, June 2, 2023 It was my last day of work today! I got a lot of comments about being brave to come to middle school on the last Friday of the school year – the last academic day of the year, since Monday is a roller-skating trip and Tuesday is field day. I was
Thursday, June 1, 2023 I did not have to work today! Very exciting. We got a text from Sean saying, “This was so cute!” I was intrigued. Then the story followed. A kid knocked on their door a few minutes after 8am and said, “The bus just went right past me. Will you take me
