Wednesday, October 11, 2023 As I drove home from work today, the sun was shining so beautifully it was hard to believe it is October. The leaves really haven’t done much yet – I think they are just staying green until they fall off. Keith was really busy working on a work that has to […]

Tuesday, October 10, 2023 Sometimes I just make myself laugh. I picked up a sub job at high school for a Tech Ed position. I thought that meant computers because computers are tech. So wrong. I was subbing for what I would have called Industrial Ed – shop class. My first three hours were woodworking
Monday, October 9, 2023 We were back at St. Andrew’s for another concert. We haven’t been there in about 15 years and now we have been there twice in four days. Our friend, Jeffrey, a former Marine himself, let us know to get tickets a couple weeks ago. Thank you, Jeffrey. We opened the program

Today I was doing math in middle school. During a couple hours, I was proctoring a test. Here’s how it went: What should I do here?What do
Wednesday, October 4, 2023 Keith was subbing in the Swing Beat Big Band tonight. They are a swing dance band and they were playing at the VFW in Bloomington for the first time. The crowd was appreciative and clapped enthusiastically, but not one person danced the entire evening. Huh. I’m very curious if they will
Tuesday, October 3, 2023 The backyard gatherings have been absolutely terrific this summer. To celebrate that and to end the weekly gatherings until next year, today there was a hot dog and s’more roast. I was sitting back from the circle (avoiding the rotating smoke that liked to follow me) with my friend and he
Monday, October 2, 2023 Before we went to Disney World, my friend Maren had the most clever thought to buy some inexpensive pins from eBay for her kids to trade. I have LOTS of pins that I have collected through the years, but I have never done pin trading. Pin trading is exactly what it
