There was a total lunar eclipse this morning. It was all covered at 1:28am, so Benjamin, Sean, and I stayed up to watch. We hopped out a few times to watch a big bite get eaten out it, then about 1:30 it was all covered up and glowing a bit of red. It was interesting […]

Thursday, March 13, 2025 We came to do quarter round by the floor molding, but built the cabinet first. Today, Keith investigated the wet spot in the kitchen ceiling. After cutting a hole in the ceiling, then a hole in the wall behind the bedroom door, the leak was located. LUCKILY, it is easily fixable

Wednesday, March 12, 2025 I spent the day going through boxes of stuff, organizing to get stuff to put in the six lower drawers. It was so much fun! Putting like things together is a favorite pastime of mine. After work, Benjamin went out to buy a countertop for the base while Keith built the

Tuesday, March 11, 2025 We got Benjin and Sean a new cabinet with six drawers for Christmas. Benjamin and I helped Keith put it together. I vacuumed where it was going to go, Benjamin opened cardboard boxes, and Keith built it. Benjamin also pretended it was a cardboard box and played in it. Good day!

Monday, March 10, 2025 Spring Break Wooooo. We drove to tropical Madison after Keith finished work today for our spring break getaway. Benjamin got a new craps table (as you do) and it took less than an hour for me to lose $100. Teehee

Sunday, March 9, 2025 We went to Lyric Arts to see The Rainmaker this afternoon. It was a set in a nebulous time of drought in a western town. The ranch family was worried about their plain daughter/sister being an old maid. A self-proclaimed con man and liar came to their house and offered to

Saturday, March 8, 2025 I like a massage the most best. If I won the lottery (I would have to buy a ticket), I would have a massage every week. I last went to have a massage 13 years ago. I loved it, but it just didn’t seem like money we could spend on something

Friday, March 7, 2025 I just wrote Friday and then stared and stared and stared because all I could think of to write next was Saturday and I knew that wasn’t right. Oooof. Keith played a concert with the Lake Wobegon Brass Band tonight at St. Thomas University. There was as cool sculpture in the

Thursday, March 6, 2025 We went to see The Life of Pi tonight, part of the touring Broadway series. Wow. Just wow. The actor playing Pi himself was incredible – what a fine, fine performance. The puppets were straight up amazing. It was really easy to forget that Richard Parker was not a real tiger.

Wednesday, March 5, 2025 Our brother Dave sent us a picture of a previous Nancy birthday this morning. He said he wasn’t sure what year it is from, but it wasn’t last year, because last year they went to a cool restaurant and the picture isn’t from there. It snows on Nancy’s birthday. Almost always.
