I learned so much about the Alamo. I think sometime in the past someone must have told me that it is much smaller than you expect, so even though I didn’t think I had ideas about it, the first thing I thought when we went into the church was how much big it was. I […]

We are in Texas! San Antonio, to be more precise. Texas is big, afterall. I have had wine, so I am typing very carefully. Our friend, Dave, nicely drove us to the airport. We bounced in the plane the whole time. It would have been very scary, but I decided to just reaaalllly focus on

I subbed for a special ed teacher today. She team teaches two hours with a terrific Algebra teacher (oooo algebra – little puzzles of fun), teaches two hours of essential math (oooo algebra – such fun), and has one study hall. I don’t think they really would have to pay me to do this job,

Coda is a musical term for the end or finale. CODA in the best picture winning movie stands for Child of Deaf Adults. I did not know that when we went to see the movie today. Pre-pandemic, I made it a practice to make sure I saw all of the best picture nominees. We went

We went to the Minnesota State Band concert this afternoon. Our friend, Peter, is a new member of the band, and he invited us and we were happy we were here to go. It was at Como High School in St. Paul. There was a sandwich board outside apprising us that no visitors were allowed

Sometimes it happens. And by that, I mean nothing happened today. It snowed, then it rained. Ducks came. Ducks walked around the yard. Ducks went. I went to work. The kids were kids. Keith grilled fantastic asparagus. We watched TV. He is working on taxes, because Surprise! It is April. I’m a bit under the

We got an air fryer. I know, everyone else already has one. I figured we were too old to need another way to cook, so we didn’t have one. But, we were at Sam’s Club last week and they had one on sale (SAVING! I love saving!) (Yes, not buying one is more saving. I

You know how your family has little sayings that no one else understands? We have a lot of those. A lot. Some are quotes from movies, some are quotes from 20-year-old internet cartoons, some I don’t remember where they came from. (The boys would know.) We also have a variety of good ideas, like building
