Saturday, February 25, 2023 Happy birthday to Karen and Marla! Today also marks six years since we lost our brother-in-law, Thom. We are thinking of all of them today. Today was a really unusual cruise stop. We were officially on French Giana soil, on one of the Îles du Salut (Islands of Salvation) (oh, such […]
Friday, February 24, 2023 It was a sea day today. We had to be up and ready at noon for trivia – and we barely made it. Given enough time, we can waste all of it. We found Regina and Brad to start, then gathered two people from nearby – Elios and Donna – to

Thursday, February 23, 2023 It’s 2-23-2023! So many twos and threes! Today we were in Barbados. We got to sleep in today, because our excursion wasn’t until 11am. We had to get up in time for breakfast before 9, because we were going to miss lunch (from 11-2). It’s all about planning for the eating!

Monday, February 2/20/2023 Alexander called Puerto Rico “America asterick”, and that is how I thought of it all day today. It didn’t feel like the United States, but they use American money and stamps. We talked to we our guide about whether he thought people wanted to be a state and he said it’s split

Saturday, February 18, 2023 We are leaving tomorrow! I am excited. I woke up excited. Then I was tired. Then I was excited. Then I was tired. I was so tired that I sat down on the packing bed (Alexander’s bed with all the suitcases and stuff) and just fell backwards. I was so tired
Friday, February 17, 2023 The big band Keith plays with (After Hours Big Band) played at the MN music educators’ conference tonight in Minneapolis. Tom and Louise were nice enough to come down to listen. The band sounded good. We had lots of people to chat with – because there were musicians all over the
Thursday, February 16, 2023 I was off to my favorite elementary school today to be the music teacher. I walked into the room and was met with the fabulous sight of pianos! Pianos with little color coding stickers on the keys. I was excited! I immediately envisioned myself using the pointer to point to colored
