Saturday, March 25, 2023 We were back to the Ordway tonight. My Fair Lady was still playing on the main stage, but we were in the concert hall to see the Red Hot Chilli Pipers with Mike and Mary. Mike had always wanted to learn to play the bagpipes and when he retired, he started […]

Friday, March 24, 2023 Sometimes it is time for kids to color maps. If those kids are 10th graders and the map is a color-by-number type deal where they do not have to look anything up or do anything other than color, it leaves me with absolutely nothing to do. There were two bins of
Thursday, 3/23/23 So many 3s and 2s today! Palindromes are best! Keith started out the day with a root canal on a cracked tooth. He is putting the Ibuprofen/Tylenol cycle to the test keeping both the carpal tunnel and the tooth pain at bay. We went to the Ordway to see My Fair Lady tonight.
Wednesday, March 22. 2023 This is Keith’s story, so I am typing while he is talking. He can type – he worked all day, but now that I am here, I have to worry and help. I had carpal tunnel release surgery today. I had to be there at 6:30am. I felt bad for the
Tuesday, March 21, 2023 Peter and Sue came for game night and we practiced using our new pizza oven on them. 🙂 We have successfully made ourselves pizza twice, so we thought we were ready to serve guests. The pizzas were not as successful as when we did it before. (Of course not – there
Monday, March 20, 2023 We inadvertently thawed out a bunch of salmon, so we invited Alexander over for dinner (not that we need a reason to invite Alexander over for dinner, but we really appreciate his willingness to eat the too-much-food). Keith shoveled out a way to get to the grill (so I didn’t have
Sunday, March 20, 2023 We watched the movie Marcel the Shell with Shoes on. I LOVED IT! It was one of the films nominated for an Oscar for best animated feature, but it didn’t win. I will have to seek out the winner – Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio – because it must be great to
Saturday, March 18, 2023 When we used to come to Eau Claire when the boys were young (to visit Keith’s parents or for chamber orchestra or to visit friends or whatever – it is so, so strange that all of those reasons except orchestra are now gone), we would narrate everything as we drove around
Friday, March 17, 2023 I had a sub job scheduled for several months for today. The teacher teaches orchestra lessons, and I picked up the job out of the scheduling app because orchestra kids are the best and I figured small group lessons would be a delightful day compared to wrangling some classrooms. I was

Thursday, March 16, 2023 Alexander came for dinner. I said, “I have been sitting all day, doing nothing.” He responded, “So, living your best life! You’re old. It’s okay to just sit around.” I said thanks. I told him I was going to take his picture with his artfully arranged plate and he said that
