Wednesday, September 25, 2024 Alexander sent this picture of Colby last night, after he (Alexander) had vacuumed the rug. There is something about it that just gets me – maybe it’s the fuzzy white tummy (because he is orange if you turn him over) or the way his feet are just resting on the wall […]
Tuesday, September 24, 2024 I’m subbing for the media specialist in elementary this week. Kids have a reputation for being technology whizzes, so it has been a real surprise for me how much help and training they are needing in setting up their iPads or Chromebooks. Even a bigger surprise is that it is ME
Monday, September 23, 2024 After multiple trips to the UK and unsuccessfully searching for Sainsbury’s wine gems, I did start to think maybe they didn’t make them anymore. Benjamin’s friend, British Dave, came to visit and brought Alexander and I our favorite treat! We are so lucky and so happy. Actually, I delayed posting this
Sunday, September 22. 2024 Sometime in the last year, I saw something about the Summit Hill house tour and put a note on my calendar in August to look for it. I did and I was about to buy tickets, when I saw the button that said Volunteer! I’d had such fun volunteering at the

Thursday, September 19, 2024 We went to the History Theater to see the play Behind the Sun. It was a black family in 1958 trying to buy a house in Minneapolis. They were unable to get a loan, even though they had jobs, because they lived in a bad neighborhood. They couldn’t get out of
Wednesday, September 18, 2024 How can it only be Wednesday? Work. Working every day makes the week go more slowly. The potd is my 8th grade friend’s head. How great is it? I think he is terrific for feeling confident going a less usual way with his hair. TERRIFIC! And I think it looks great.

Tuesday, September 17, 2024 Hello lunar eclipse of the Harvest Supermoon. The supermoon started last night and was messing with our seeing the northern lights (a bit). Tonight, the Earth is getting in the way of its shininess. We were just out in the cul-de-sac, looking at it and visiting with the neighbors. Today was
Monday, September 16, 2024 I have been hoping to see the northern lights forever and tonight I finally did. We pay attention to the notices of when they are supposed to be able to be seen in Minnesota, and drive out looking for some dark-ish place to look, but have never seen a thing. Keith
