Friday, November 28, 2025 I woke up last this morning and everyone was already having pie for breakfast. What a treat – for them. I wanted a turkey sammich. I waited a little while and went for it. I had turkey, lettuce, tomato, and mayo on white bread. That is my sammich. So good. I […]

Thursday, November 27, 2025 Happy Thanksgiving. I could have started with that, but I didn’t want to forget that Alexander said, “I’d buy a pig named Oblong,” today. We played the game Wavelength where you are given two “opposite” ideas and a distance between the two that you have to get your team to guess

Wednesday, November 26, 2025 Keith and I worked all day going through piles of papers and random collections of stuff that seem to accumulate readily at our house. We made some food for tomorrow. We watched Survivor. We did not play on our phones or mindlessly look at random stuff. It was a pretty good

Monday, November 24, 2025 We should be home from our wonderful trip to the UK and back to our regular lives. I had a mammogram today and thought I would take a picture for those of you who have never had the pleasure. I don’t find it awful, except when they say, “hold your breath,”
Sunday, November 23, 2025 We should have been flying home from London today, but instead we got to see both of our boys. Benjamin mentioned yesterday that he could use a box grater for Christmas. He said he has use of one nearly every day. In the night, I realized we have a box grater
Saturday, November 22, 2025 I woke up this morning and the gas bubble in my eye was gone! It really started shrinking last night and this morning, POOF! My vision is still blurry and that will last a while, but there is no black spot. Hurray! British Dave is visiting Benjamin and now they are
Friday, November 21, 2025 Tom and Louise got a hot air balloon ride for two from a silent auction (or something). Louise was not interested, so Tom invited Keith to join him. The weather conditions need to be just right, so we have scheduled and rescheduled and rescheduled 6 or 7 or 12 times. Today
Thursday, November 20, 2025 We went to the History Theater to see Rollicking tonight. It was a musical about the St. Paul Winter Carnival. It started a little slow, then picked up steam to be a very funny show with amazing costumes. There were Hilex drops of bleach as characters who spouted endless facts about
Wednesday, November 19, 2025 I had so much fun freaking 6th graders out today…”then I woke up in the middle of surgery!” (Okay, I made sure they weren’t really freaked out). We also did decimals and percentages and fractions. I sang a new song I wrote about not being afraid of fractions. I wish I
