Monday, January 16, 2023 Do you know about Martin Luther King, Jr? I bet you know who he is, but do you know a lot about him? Your own opinion on what a lot is. I know some. I know enough, because no one is quizzing me and so no knowledge is actually required. I […]

Sunday, January 15, 2023 Our very good friends, Mike and Mary, came over to watch brass band videos today. We had LOTS of catching up to do, so we talked without taking a breath for the first two hours they were here. Fantastic! Mike has been working part time (from retirement), teaching band in the

Saturday, January 14, 2023 Keith played the annual family concert with the Eau Claire Chamber Orchestra today. It is an afternoon concert every January – free for everyone. There was a very nice turn-out. I enjoyed watching one toddler just walk up and down the aisle during the entire first piece (all the pieces are

Tuesday, January, 10, 2023 From the Benjin last Thursday: My calendar says The Daddy is twice as old as Alexander (translated from brother speak) (he would never actually call Alexander Alexander) (but I can’t just write Alexander like he would have said it, because it breaks my brain) next Tuesday. You should have a party.

Monday, January 9, 2023 I was off to elementary school to be the media specialist today. I went to an elementary school I have never been to – I had to listen to the map lady tell me how to get there. I have been through the intersection two blocks away many times, having no

Sunday, January 8, 2022 Our final glass projects were colored glasses. There were four mixed colored frit (small ground glass) choices and we ended up with one of each, because I had time to do two glasses. Keith’s is on the left, mine are in the middle, and Alexander’s is on the right. Each of

Saturday, January 7, 2022 Things I was thinking about today: Drivers! C’mon. Follow the rules of the road. If you screw up, it doesn’t mean you can just drive where you aren’t supposed to and make it dangerous for everyone else. Seriously. We almost got taken out by people traveling on the wrong side of
