Wednesday, April 29, 2026 For Christmas, we told Alexander we were upgrading his bedroom. It took a while (in between excessive vacations) for us to get to the store to choose a mattress, and to order the bed from IKEA. His room is small-ish, so I thought the IKEA bed with 4 big drawers would […]

Tuesday, April 28, 2026 I got a package in the mail today. How exciting!! I laughed as I opened it and saw Wicked Witch legs. It is the perfect bookmark!! Thank you, Jerry and Barbara!!! I think this was one of those times when you see things that are perfect for someone else and you

Monday, April 28, 2026 My job for today got cancelled at 6am, so after very sleeping in, we started looking through the closet. We leave Friday, so this is very, very early for us to start getting organized. We had a wonderful visit with friends, Mark and Sue. They go to Malaga, Spain in the

Tuesday, April 21, 2026 We took the red eye home, leaving just after 1am and getting home a few minutes before 6am. It’s amazing how many people are streaming into the airport at that time – like they think it is time to be up and doing something. We were asleep a few minutes before

Monday, April 20, 2026 We signed up for a bus trip to see the Hoover dam. Our host was Trez and he is a stand-up comedian. Though we just booked it through Viator, it was also presented by a comedy company. All tour guides should be comedians – it makes for a very funny time.
