Saturday, July 27. 2024 Today was exemplary! Today was the kind of day that you hope everyone has and notices how great it is while it is happening. I sure did. We woke up at a reasonable time to take care of the pool and the flowers, pack for the trip (yes! a trip!) and […]

Friday, July 26, 2024 When the boys were middle sized, they really liked this movie. They particularly liked every time when Teddy Roosevelt ran up the stairs (San Juan hill) yelling charge. I wonder how many times they watched it. The Phipps performance tonight was very good – all the actors were well cast. The

Thursday, July 25, 2024 Does the picture of the day have to match what I write about? Of course not, because I am in charge and that is the way it is sometime. I did have a marvelous time hanging out by the pool with my friends today. When the boys said they were hungry,

Monday, July 22, 2024 It was the brothers’ birthday several days ago, but I just got this picture and I love it so much. I know I was having a good time in Europe while they were blowing out candles, but a lot of me would have preferred to be there, with them. It is
Sunday, July 21, 2024 We slept well on the square bed, enjoyed the Jetsons feeling of showering in an acrylic tube, and watched it pour down rain during a leisurely breakfast before walking over to the airport (and the rain almost stopped by then). We got bumped up to Comfort + because the configuration of
Saturday, July 20, 2024 I woke up at 4am-ish and used the bathroom. I wondered if our flight was still on time. Luckily, Keith was checking when I came back to bed. Still on time! We got up at 6:30ish to be packed and out the door at 8:00. Everything went well – suitcase is
Friday, July 19, 2024 Today is my brothers’ birthday!! Shout out to David and Dennis who passed a milestone today. They are in their 70s, while my younger sister, Donna, is only in her 50s. Wow. That’s amazing. They are having a party in the newly remodeled kitchen (at Dave and Jayne’s house) that is

Thursday, July 18, 2024 We both woke up at 4:30am today and used the bathroom and celebrated that we got to go back to bed for three more hours. The bus to the airport was loading at 5:30 and we could have been getting up for the day. We had a leisurely time getting ready
