Wednesday, April 19, 2023 It seems like I am always sick and Keith is taking care of me. He is an excellent taker-carer. Things get a little dicer when it is my turn to be the care giver. He had carpal tunnel surgery on his right hand this morning. He had to be there at

Tuesday, April 18, 2023 I read an article written by a Spanish woman who is now living in Nebraska about the difference between living in Spain and living in the United States. I was glad she lives in the middle of the country, because I thought that was more like most people live – or

Monday, April 17, 2023 It was summer last week. Then it was a holiday weekend. Then my alarm went off at 6am to wake up for work and THAT was not what I wanted to do. It was a tired day. I didn’t get to nap because I invited Alexander over for dinner and he

Sunday, April 16, 2023 He keeps saying that, so I guess that is how he thinks of his 60th birthday. Happy birthday, Keith! He started his day super early. He woke up, got up, and had Pandora blueberry Frosted Flakes. Frosted Flakes are his favorite and he looked at the blue Pandora version several times

Saturday, April 15, 2023 Last summer we were floating in the pool and I asked Keith what he wanted to do for his 60th birthday. He pondered it a bit and said he had no idea. I said he likes playing in a concert best and he should plan a Metro Brass concert. I tried

Friday, April 14, 2023 Today we went to Dairy Queen to celebrate their birthday with 85 cent blizzards. I asked Keith what was better – his chili dog or his blizzard. He didn’t hesitate: blizzard. I asked him which was better – his onion rings or his blizzard. Still no hesitation: blizzard. He said ice

Thursday, April 13, 2023 I finished my first three classes today and sat down to look at my phone. I had several messages from Keith asking when my lunch was and telling me he was bringing me lunch. That was simply lovely, except that I didn’t have lunch until 12:40 – when he needed to

Wednesday, April 12, 2023 You gotta love Minnesota – we get all the seasons…sometimes in the same week. It’s one thing to see that it is going to be 84 on the weather forecast; it’s another to actually go outside and not only not feel cold, but to feel HOT. All the kids were wearing

Tuesday, April 11, 2023 Well, that’s not okay. I read an article about a man who had been offered a job as a school district superintendent who lost that job offer after he wrote an email to two women involved in the process and addressed them as ladies. They said he should know better than

Monday, April 10, 2023 We have been to a Disney place every year since 1998. We were there just before everything shut down in March 2020. We went to Disneyland in 2021, Aulani in Hawaii in 2022, and we made a reservation to go to Disney World in August. I haven’t really been in the
