Saturday, August 22, 2026 The last time Keith and I were in NOLA, I had a roast beef po’boy at Pierre Masparo’s that was incredible. I liked it so much that we had to go back the next day so I could have it again. They just removed it from their menu because it was

Friday, August 21, 2026 Alexander’s boss sent him a message this morning asking if he had taken the day off or was he sleeping. Confirmed day off. It so rarely happens. We walked the 6 or 8 blocks to Bearcat for brunchtime. It was only 89 out (felt like 102). Benjamin and I crossed to

Thursday, August 20, 2026 Keith, Benjamin, Alexander, and I enjoy the flavors of New Orleans, so we planned a trip together just to eat. The fact that it is forecast to be in the high 90s the whole time we are here won’t be a problem. We are going to hang out together in our
Wednesday, August 19, 2026 We went to see the filmed version of the musical SIX at the Alamo theater today. I loved it. When we saw the live show the first time, I LOVED it. I loved it so much that when it came around again about 8 months later, I was so excited to
Tuesday, August 18, 2026 Today was 8/18/26 and all I could think was 8+18=26. Math! It’s everywhere! We went to the Field of Dreams movie set site today. I love seeing the movies in real life, so I thoroughly enjoyed it. The house has a fence around it; I assume it keeps people from swarming
Monday, August 17, 2026 We all went to Fennimore, WI, today to bury our Uncle Fred (or for Chrissy, her dad). In one of his last visits with Nancy, when he knew our cousin reunion was planned, he said he thought it would be nice if we all could be together to place his urn.
Sunday, August 16, 2026 The out of state cousins got an Airbnb house on one of the lakes in Madison. We all gathered for a beautiful brunch. Cousin Mark brought several photo albums to share and we really enjoyed looking through them. The potd is Mark’s mom, Aunt Carol, my dad, and my mom. We
Saturday, August 15, 2026 We had lunch at Kopp’s because the flavor was a FAVORITE – Bienenstichkuchen (bee sting cake) (almond custard with pastry cream, almonds, raspberry, honey, and sponge cake). We also shared a hamburger and Keith admitted he is more smitten with their hamburgers than the custard. (wow) There was a guy from
Friday, August 14, 2026 After playing with Trooper and coloring my hair, Keith went to my friend’s house to fix the hole in the deck. I had volunteered him, and yesterday she said it seemed to be the best way forward. She was happy to wait, but Keith thought it would just be better to

Thursday, August 13, 2026 Carla and I went to Joyer Farms to see sunflowers today. There were lots of fun activities for kids to do. We decided we didn’t know why we didn’t own a place like this, because we would love to think up fun ways for families to have fun together outside. I
