Monday, March 3, 2025 I had the great idea to make a few Cajun dishes for Fat Tuesday, but then we realized we would like to go back to Tono for the Tuesday special – so Fat Monday was born. Chicken Tchoupitoulas was a given, then we decided corn maque choux and added a box
Sunday, March 2, 2025 I was upstairs putting away laundry and I heard Keith say, “They’re here.” I had one more shirt to hang up. As I was buttoning, I heard them. LAUGHING They weren’t even all the way here yet and they were laughing so hard. It sounded like they couldn’t get through the

Monday, February 24, 2025 I had a buuuusssy day in 7th grade math. I needed help from multiple regular teachers to contain the roar of my classes. I am so happy they were able to help me. One of my favorite bits of help was when I called the office to ask how many times
Sunday, February 23, 2025 We went to the Collide dance company’s production of Romeo and Juliet today. Dance stories are just so cool. It was a steam punk version and the costumes were wonderful. A woman new to the company was Juliet and she is really, really good at standing on her toes. Favorite guy
