Friday, October 14, 2022 Our friends, Jerry and Barbara, came to Bayfield for many years each from Eau Claire, and now have come from Traverse City, MI (their retirement home). Since we do not get to see them nearly often enough, we asked if they would mind if we would just show up at their […]

Thursday, October 13, 2022 It was me! I was stealing the mail and I have never been given a warmer welcome EVER! We were driving north for the weekend (obviously too much sunny, warm for us – we are looking for some chillier weather) (lies). I didn’t look at the route (because I am not

Wednesday, October 12, 2022 We went to Sam’s club last night, and then to a different Sam’s club tonight to lay in a supply of little candy to give out during review before the next test. I am not a fan of giving out candy – this is the very first time I have ever

Tuesday, October 11, 2022 Apparently, we don’t have eyes. Our roof has hail damage, so we are looking at getting a new roof. Keith got samples of the roofing material, so we can pick out the color we want. We looked at the samples and said, “Obviously not black, because our house is brown.” We

Monday, October 10, 2022 It was a glorious, warm sunny day, so Keith and I jumped in the car to go look at pretty leaves. We went east. Meh. We went south. Green (duh). We went north. Yay! We decided to go to the Patriot’s Tavern (Patriot was on my US history vocabulary list today

Sunday, October 9, 2022 Sometimes you give your friend candy that her son is allergic to, and you have to make wrapping paper appropriate to the occasion.

Saturday, October 8, 2022 I was sitting at the breakfast buffet this morning, looking at the New York City skyline, trying to wrap my head around the fact that it was actually there. We have so many ways to view things that we might never see in real life, that somehow sometimes real life doesn’t

Friday, October 7, 2022 We went to trivia this afternoon and Tom and Louise had already staked out a table down in front. It was TV Theme Tunes and I thought we would have a lot of fun and probably do well. Strangely, it was about half movies and half tv shows. It didn’t make

Thursday, October 6, 2022 We were not scheduled to dock until 11am today, so we did not set alarms. Since we are in an inside cabin (NO LIGHT from windows), we would never know if it was day or night without a clock. I woke up at 9:40. WHOOOHOOOO! Keith was still asleep. When we

Wednesday, October 5, 2022 (Happy Birthday, Maren!) We are in Canada! Keith was startled to find out that Tom and Louise have not been to Canada, because when they told him previously that they had not been to Canada, he thought that meant this Canada, not all Canada. That is still making me laugh. We
