Saturday, June 28, 2025 About two months ago, Keith’s sister texted to see if she and her family could stay with us while they attended a local graduation party. I said of course, because, of course! A couple days later, I asked Keith, “Did you tell your sisters we are moving?” He said no, because

Friday, June 27, 2025 Alexander heard of a new restaurant near his office called Burnt Chicken. He suggested we dinner there, so we did. Keith had a catfish po’boy, I had a shrimp po’boy, and Alexander had a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. We all enjoyed – but mine might have been the best (as voted

Thursday, June 26, 2025 The Backyard Book Club is an off-shoot of the Big Backyard, the group that began in pandemic to meet and just be with others outside. We have continued to meet indoors in the community room at a local grocery store over the winter. Today was supposed to be our return to

Wednesday, June 25, 2025 I asked Keith to contact the band president at noon on Monday to encourage him to find a rain out place for the Wednesday concert. The forecast did not look good. I said if they asked one of the three churches adjacent to the park where the band shell is they

Tuesday, June 24, 2025 We finally got to see the live action version of HTTYD. It was outstanding! Keith said he wished one of us had looked at him during the movie because he was sure he had a giant, goofy smile the whole time because he was so happy. He might never have been

Monday, June 23, 2025 I went to Jean’s backyard today for a gathering of former Woodbury Junior High employees. It was delightful. Jean had taken snacks to a church activity yesterday and wanted to serve us leftovers, making sure that we knew we were not leftover people. I was delighted to be a leftover person.

Sunday, June 22, 2025 We are going to build a pantry in the laundry room and are planning on using IKEA shelving. I suggested we go to the store to look at colors and sizes and make decisions. We had the brilliant idea of going when they opened, doing our looking, then coming home quickly.

Saturday, June 21, 2025 We had sammiches because I was craving one. I asked Keith if he wanted to split a second one and he said yes. I asked him what he wanted on it, because I like more things than he does. He suggested I just cut the roll in half and we each

Friday, June 20, 2025 I cannot stop laughing about that lady’s head growing out of Keith’s shoulder. I never noticed it when I took the picture (obviously), and I didn’t notice it when I flipped back and forth comparing the two pictures I took, but when I uploaded it here, it is all I can

Thursday, June 19, 2025 Keith had the day off today, so he worked on his office. He is putting up noise baffling panels on one wall to make it more pleasant to practice. When he gets those done (almost) he can put up the moulding, trim the doors to fit the new floor, and put
