Tuesday, September 15, 2026 When Pannekoeken Huis closed, it was just the saddest thing. Luckily, a pizza restaurant called LaTuff’s bought their recipes and their chef and are bringing the food back for us! While we were on the band trip this summer, we were talking to Steve and Catherine about missing pannekoeken – and

Monday, September 14, 2026 I got almost home from work today when I encountered the birds. There were five consecutive yards on the south side of an east-west street covered in birds. Like a weird number of birds. Like more birds than I have seen on a yard. No birds anywhere else. I thought maybe
Sunday, September 13, 2026 We had a delightful boat ride with Kathy and Phil today. It was much cooler than yesterday, and very overcast, when we left home. I wore pants. I know I did, because I kept saying, “I’m wearing pants.” It felt like a really big deal. The sun came out, then went

Tuesday, September 8, 2026 After another night of not sleeping well, or not sleeping at all, I woke up at 11am. I am working on Thursday and Friday and I have no idea how that is going to happen. Days away! Not to worry about now. We went to the 12:15 showing of The Dog
Monday, September 7, 2026 Keith told me Saturday that Teriyaki Madness was having a 20% off sale over Labor Day weekend. We were going to go yesterday, but I was feeling crummy, so I napped instead. Today was the day! I was planning on potstickers and extra vegetables! The glory of not saving at a
Sunday, September 6, 2026 I first saw Wallism mural wallpaper ads around the time that we moved here, last year. I was captivated. I thought it was so cool. I enjoyed looking through the gazillions of choices. I finally decided we should go for it. I picked out Fairy Tale Flowers V first. Then I
