Tuesday, July 9, 2025 At 3:02pm I said to Keith, “If we go to the 3:20 movie of Elio, we will have the theater to ourselves.” We dithered briefly, then went. We were in row 2 and two other people ended up in the backrow (row 5). It was a cartoon movie (as opposed to

Monday, July 7, 2025 It was a much more reasonable hot today. We turned off the A/C for the first time in almost a week. The convertible ride to brass band was perfect. Perfect! When we came out of rehearsal, the sky was DARK over there. The wind was picking up. Keith checked the weather

Sunday, July 6, 2025 Man, I love after-a-party. The house is clean, there are leftovers to eat, you don’t have anything on the to-do list, and some of the people are still around. What could be better?! Benjamin golfed a quick nine with Amanda and Erick this morning (Lindsay walked along). The excessive golf this

Saturday, July 5, 2015 Have you ever wondered what that means? Does it mean half the places (what places? Anyone hearing the report? I don’t know) will get rain, or that all the places will get rain half of the time, or that it might rain or might not rain with equal probability? Today, Alexander’s

Friday, July 4, 2025 A couple weeks ago I asked Keith what we should have for the 4th of July party, then immediately said, “Hot dogs! We should have Chicago dogs and chili dogs and whatever you want dogs.” So we did. We also had a bazillion other things. Like, wow! That is a lot

Thursday, July 3, 2025 The hot tub came over today. We started with the idea that we would leave it next door until Rob and Maren were ready to move theirs over from their old house. Since they are not selling but renting, we had no definite timeline. Then we got over here and where

Wednesday, July 2, 2025 Keith did Keith things. Benjamin golfed 27 holes – many of them really well. Alexander started a helmet for a costume. A good day for all.

Tuesday, July 1, 2025 Our friend Stacy could use the old stove and refrigerator, so off they went today. You can’t see Tom doing the brunt of the work, but he’s behind the frig. We still have the craft room table out there, but we are getting closer to having a complete garage. Friend Christina

Monday, June 30, 2025 Keith reached out to cut a tag off a new shirt before we left for brass band rehearsal. I jumped and shivered. He asked what was happening. I said, “Anticipatory tickles”. He doesn’t experience them. I do. The POTD is a pot of calla lilies that live in the furnace room

Sunday, June 29, 2025 We had a very good time talking with Vonnie and Mark and Marcos. Vonnie made sure to let us know that she is not telling their other sister so we can hopefully prank her sometime in the future. They were returning to the mall for some shopping this morning, then heading
