Tuesday, January 30, 2023 We finally went to see Wonka. Keith picked it and I went along. I LOVED IT. I had very low expectations, even though I only heard good things from real people I know who have seen it. I don’t know why. I liked the original Gene Wilder movie. I liked the […]

Monday, January 29, 2024 I debated not putting out my snowman stuff, because winter seems to have ended already (without ever really starting) and we are going away for a couple weeks, so we won’t be here to enjoy them anyway. Keith and I went for a walk this afternoon because it was 49 degrees.
Sunday, January 28, 20234 We enjoyed the musical stylings of Jen Burleigh-Bentz at the Phipps today. She used to be married to a guy in Keith’s big band and she sang with that band a number of times. She was in Mama Mia on Broadway a while ago (understudy the lead women and chorus). So,

Saturday, January 27, 2024 Our cold snap is over and it feels like spring. The little snow we had is melting quickly, so we thought we would be bold and take down our Christmas tree. Yep. We put away Christmas decorations today – one month and two days after the holiday. I usually undecorate on

Friday, January 26, 2024 I have been trying to be very selective about which sub jobs I pick up. I am going to elementary school more often, and boldly choosing to be a classroom teacher sometimes. It wasn’t so long ago that the thought of that would have kept me up at night, but now
Thursday, January 25, 2024 Our early bird is not a senior citizen. He’s 30. Alexander likes to come home from work and have dinner, because he is a minimalist for lunch. We met at the mall at 4:30 to have dinner at Bubba Gumps – and remembered the gift cards this year. Keith usually has
Wednesday, January 24, 2024 Keith grew up listening to Johnny Cash, so we went to a Johnny Cash tribute band tonight. They were very good. Keith knew all the songs and I knew five. I still enjoyed it very much. They played a lot of audience requests, and it was so cool the way the
Tuesday, January 23, 2024 What can you say about a friend that says she is going to drop something off while you are at the movies (American Fiction – not the comedy the trailer led us to expect, but very, very good) and when you get home you have PINK bathroom tissue? You can say
Monday, January 22, 2024 I have been thinking all day about what I wrote yesterday. That is unusual – usually it is written and done. I think it is because what I wrote was wrong. Of course I would be at the team sports activities. One of my friends pointed out that the world is

Sunday, January 21, 2024 I went to see two of my 5th grade friends play basketball today. They are on the same team, so that is handy. I really, really enjoyed myself. People kept thanking me for coming – which is very nice – but not really necessary when I am doing something fun. I
