Saturday, December 28, 2024 I had a three hour nap this morning. Then I was trying to think of something we could do so Nancy and Keith wouldn’t notice I was napping while we did it. I couldn’t think of anything, so after we ate leftover party food, I napped again. Nancy remains the easiest […]

Friday, December 27, 2024 The weather forecast was for light rain. Light rain is better than heavy rain. We did have light rain as we set out. Nobody said anything about fog. FOG. Cool fog, if you are not out driving around in it. For most of the drive from Woodbury to Waukesha we could

Thursday, December 26, 2024 We had an appointment to get new tires at noon, but Keith, Benjamin, and Sean were all working, so I sat at Sam’s Club for a little while and waited for tires to be done. I bought a less than half priced bag of candy that said it had 315 pieces.

Wednesday, December 25, 2024 I hope everyone had a lovely day with family and friends! We did. We had our traditional brunch of sawdust sausage (my mom’s name for sawmill gravy over biscuits) and eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns. Benjamin and Alexander did research and drove to the far side of Canada (or Maple Grove) to

Tuesday, December 24, 2004 We ran a few errands and saw some friends today. It is so fun to see people the day before Christmas, because everyone is SO happy. Keith cooked the best brisket he has ever made, and we feasted on it and sweet potatoes and corn. (It was mentioned that the side

Monday, December 23, 2024 I kept thinking it was Christmas eve all day. Remember to thaw the bacon and sausage for brunch tomorrow! Not tomorrow. Remember to deliver gifts to friends before tomorrow! Not tomorrow. Why is the mall open so late on Christmas eve? Not Christmas eve. 🤦‍♀️ I wonder what tomorrow will be.

Sunday, December 22, 2024 My friend Maren and I went to the Mall of America to do some shopping today. She had gifts to buy, and I had walking along to do. It was great. She had ideas of where to go, so we zipped around from here to there. I even bought some things.

Saturday, December 21, 2024 We tried re-creating a sandwich from Jersey Mike’s today. Surprisingly to me, we did a pretty good job. Even more surprisingly, we compared prices and it wasn’t that much cheaper to make it at home. OoOoOO. Support for other people making me food 🙂 ****************************************************** Tomorrow’s theme will be Treats, as there

Friday, December 20, 2024 Today was the last day of school before winter break! Woohoo. I was at my favorite elementary school, not doing a lot in special ed. I only had groups in the morning because the afternoon was for fun. One kid didn’t want to do the party, so he hung out with

Thursday, December 19, 2024 We went through the snow to the Ames Theater in Burnsville (a new place for us – very nice – looks like there is a lot to see there) to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. They are a swing revival band with a killer horn section. Their trumpets played really high
