Thursday, November 30, 2023 Tomorrow advent starts and I made Keith an advent calendar. It is totally copied (with permission/encouragement) from a lady on the internet. Yay lady on the internet who thought it up. I had fun making it. I had fun putting stuff in the little houses. I hope Keith has fun opening […]

Wednesday, November 29, 2023 What a fun show. The big band was a horn section and a rhythm section, so not the biggest of big bands, but fine nonetheless. Shaun Johnson is a good singer and a very funny announcer. Our seats right down front behind(ish) the piano player were wonderful. I enjoyed the whole

Tuesday, November 28, 2023 I was at work today, talking to Keith at lunch and singing the I’m Cold song. You know the one, the one where I sing quietly (I’m cold I’m cold I’m cold) while he is talking about something of substance. (That brings up another important song that hasn’t been written yet.

Monday, November 27, 2023 It must be time to decorate the kitty. Sean decorated Eggy B and we all told him how pretty he looked, then forgot about him. He wore his ribbon a lot longer than he really had to – quite a good sport. I subbed in 4th grade today. I enjoyed it

It was the delicious (DELICIOUS!) wafting aroma of the sugar nuts that held us enthralled. How do they smell that

Friday, November 24, 2023 We enjoyed the History Theater premiere of I am Betty, the story of Betty Crocker. (She is not and never was real.) Some of the songs were Simmer and Wait, We’re the Crockettes, Just add an Egg, and the Hamburger Helper Boogie. You just can’t go wrong with that line-up!

Thursday, November 23, 2023 Benjamin and Sean made us a lovely southwest salad for lunch – delicious. Benjin and I hot tubbed while Sean went for a walk in the cold and Keith took a nap. Everybody won.

Wednesday, November 22, 2023 We did another escape room, picked up Jamaican food, checked out a Christmas tree lot, then figured out how many episodes of Bill Nye I’ve seen, if there are any episodes of Magic School Bus that the boys have not seen, and vigorously discussed the merits of a ranked list of
