So, there was a candy dish with one little rubbery sugar candy in it at Nancy’s house. Nancy bought a new bag of little rubbery sugar candies. Donna wanted to know what flavor the old little rubbery sugar candy was, so we were trying to match the 12 flavors listed on the back with the

Monday, August 31, 2026 Happy birthday to my sister, Donna! In honor of Donna’s birthday, Keith got a one on Wordle! Then he went to Janesville to fix the leaky plumbing related to the missing washer and dryer. Nancy and I had a delightful trip to Woodman’s grocery store. We also managed to find things

Sunday, August 30, 2026 Nancy, Donna, Michael, Keith, and I spent all day yesterday and today cleaning Benjamin and Elizabeth’s new house. I took no pictures of how dirty the kitchen was because I actually don’t want to remember. We all agreed that the house had to have been unoccupied for a while – the

Saturday, August 29, 2026 Keith got a message from Sue this morning that Peter passed away yesterday from a brain bleed. To say that we were shocked doesn’t even come close. When Keith told me, I don’t think I could even process the words. Peter was only 66, far too young to have slipped away

Friday, August 28, 2026 Keith spent the morning fixing a plumbing issue at his sister’s house. We drove to Waukesha to visit sisters for a pizza supper about 5:00.

We were going to go to Benjamin’s house first and unload boxes, but Elizabeth had her wisdom teeth out today, so we decided not to make any interruptions to rest. We

Tuesday, August 25, 2026 Today is really a birthday day! I said the 23rd was a big day, but today is the real winner! Aunt Margaret, cousin Mary Ann, Jerry, Dan, and a very nice lady wearing an It’s my 98th birthday button I met in St. Paul today all have birthdays today! Happiness to

Monday, August 24, 2026 There was no sauce of any kind today. Pretty sad. We went to see the movie Tony about Anthony Bordain. I really enjoyed it, but since he worked in a seafood restaurant, it did not make me hungry. We had Taco John’s for dinner. We love Taco John’s, so even if

Sunday, August 23, 2026 It’s Jack, Aldo, and Lucas’ birthdays today. I don’t think I have another three birthdays day. I hope everyone enjoyed their day! You can actually only eat like this for a short time, so as all good things, it was time to close out the trip. We got a late check
