Saturday, May 20, 2023 Our friend, Peter, is a volunteer docent at the science museum. He told us that there was a new exhibition of art and nature that he thought we would like. It is called Exquisite Creatures. We were intrigued, then captivated. I highly recommend everyone go to see the exhibit before it […]

Friday, May 19, 2023 Keith and I spent a lot of time in the lobby of the Fine Arts building at UWEC when we were in school. Chamber orchestra rehearsal was here tonight. We didn’t have time to stop at the hotel before rehearsal, so he went into the concert hall and I headed to
Thursday, May 18, 2023 I had a good group of 4th graders today in the library. It was the last book check out of the year for them, as well as time for them to work on their slide show of the ABCs of summer. This was an ongoing project they started last week. About

Wednesday, May 17, 2023 I have subbed four separate weeks for my friend whose mom had a stroke in December. Her mom is doing better than originally expected, which brought its own surprises and challenges, and I am so glad that she was able to take off the time to be with her. As far
Tuesday, May 16, 2023 I was working in an elementary library today, walking around the tables of second graders, helping them fill out facts about animals, when I saw a big spider on the ground. A really pretty darned big spider. I got a jolt when I saw it. The thing about spiders is that

Monday, May 15, 2023 Alexander isn’t a big going-to-the-movie-theater guy, but he does go for MCU movies, so we coordinate so we can all go together. We met at the Woodbury 10 today for the 4:30 showing of Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Alexander and I went in to get the food order happening while
Sunday, May 14, 2023 I was most interested to see the behind-the-scenes tour of the Minneapolis Post Office. They had timed tours and they didn’t work yesterday, so it was the number one priority today. We arrived early for the noon tour (almost an hour) because of getting shut out at the newspaper yesterday. Turns

Saturday, May 13, 2023 Today was the second Minneapolis Doors Open Event. The first one was in 2019 and we were not aware of it. Pandemic happened and then it was now. I just heard about it on Thursday and was clever enough not to forget about it in two days. It is a free

Friday, May 12, 2023 Happy Birthday, Mollie! It is finally warming up and it was time to start the pool pump. The thing about the pool pump is that it doesn’t really like to start in the spring. Each year we had lived here, Keith has come in and said, “I’m not sure I’m going
Thursday, May 11, 2023 Almost every night Keith has to remind me to write the POTD. You’d think I would remember it after this long, but no. I’m usually half asleep on the couch and he says he is going to practice his trumpet while I write the POTD, and I just squint at him
