Sunday, October 19, 2025 Friends Carla and Mark planned an awesome anniversary gathering for us for today. We were going to be piloted (by their son Jared) down the St. Croix on his pontoon boat, enjoying the afternoon while looking at the gorgeous fall colors we are having.

Saturday, October 18, 2025 Today a really lot of good-minded people went out to rally for the United States. Thank you, good people. We had a lovely breakfast delivered to us by Keith. We played Flip 7. Post breakfast games might be the best. We went to see White Rabbit, Red Rabbit – a no

Sunday, October 12, 2025 Keith has been working on the new cabinets (and moving outlets) this week. Today he finished. Yay. So many places to organize and store. We haven’t figured out what we want on the top, so that will be a while. We went to see Little Shop of Horrors this afternoon. It
Saturday, October 11, 2025 Keith got up early to go to a rehearsal in River Falls. I actually got up and worked on laundry and tackled the pile of cardboard in the living room. The cabinets aren’t done, but I wrangled the current cardboard. Because I am insane about reusing, I carefully cut the boxes

Friday, October 10, 2025 I worked with someone today I really enjoy working with and consider a friend. We don’t socialize outside of work, but I guess that is just from lack of effort. Her grandsons go to Annunciation school and were present in the church when a gunman opened fire seven weeks ago, killing
