Friday, August 4, 2023 I have lived within a block of these two cars for over 30 years. I think. I know I have lived within a block of this house for that long, and for as long as I can remember, two (actually, for most of the time there were three) old cars have […]
Thursday, August 3, 2023 Today was the first day of the state fair, but we had to leave for home, so we couldn’t go. We had my very favorite WI state fair treat – Usingers jalapeno and cheddar smoked brats on a pretzel bun and corn on the cob – before we left. I also
Wednesday, August 2, 2023 I like to go for a root beer at John’s Root Beer stand when I am in Waukesha. Our family was talking about what is the best root beer recently. The unanimous consensus was John’s, until the consideration was raised as to whether John’s was actually root beer, because it is
Tuesday, August 1, 2023 The pizza oven is portable, so we brought it along and invited everyone over for pizza. I rarely think about what the potd might be, but this afternoon while my sister and I were grocery shopping, I thought we would take a picture of our five siblings. Nope. I didn’t remember
Monday, July 30, 2023 It was Orange Dream and Butter Pecan at Kopp’s today, so it was a must go. Nancy and I have a perfect system of splitting a hamburger with the works, extra pickles, and raw onions. We each could eat a burger, and they are sooooo good, but we know we need
Sunday, July 30, 2023 We packed up almost everything we own to drive to Wisconsin to visit my sisters and brothers for a couple days. Keith went to do pool chemicals and the cover wouldn’t open more than half way. It was the first time we’d tried it since they installed the new cover parts.
Saturday, July 29, 2023 I had a very hard time picking a single potd, so you are getting several. I guess it isn’t unusual to get several, but I feel like the first half of the day was so long ago that it seems like another day. We went to the Ren in the Glen

Friday, July 28, 2023 I went for a walk (because I am still walking 15,000 steps/day. It’s much easier now, but still takes me a long time. I remain slow) at Mounds Park in St. Paul. I went early to beat the heat, and no one was around, except for one car. There was a
Thursday, July 27, 2023 I didn’t write about it when it happened over Memorial Day weekend, because it was just too painful. We slit the brand-new-last-year-pool-liner again. Same thing that happened last year. I was on my out to go swimming for the first time this year (so late!) and Keith was coming in, looking
Wednesday, July 26, 2023 A long time ago, at a restaurant in Fantasyland there was a side dish called Figaro Fries (the restaurant was Pinocchio Haus). We remember it fondly – heavy on the fondly, light on the remember. I remember it had french fries (not hard, since it’s in the name) and lettuce. Keith
