Friday, January 9, 2026 I was feeling well and went to work today. Yay! It was great fun to be back in math. It was sunny and almost 40 when I come out after school, so I put the top down on the car. Wheee. Alexander encouraged Benjamin to come up for the weekend since […]
Thursday, January 8, 2026 I’m happy to report that we went to the Orpheum to see the musical Shucked and we got Keith’s coat back. It even had his hat and gloves in the pockets. The night he left it was one of the first nights I started taking the medicine that has been so

Saturday, January 3, 2026 Dave and Anne invited us on an outing to the Twin Cities Model Train Museum. It was way, way more than I expected. On Saturday afternoon/evenings through February they are hosting “night trains”. The lights are off, letting the lights from the exhibits show the way. The Christmas decorations are still
Friday, January 2, 2026 Keith just went off on his own this morning. He took his bent trumpet to be repaired. His repairman friend is in Red Wing, so it was an hour away. He has never been to the shop and he said it was so interesting – FILLED with instruments. You never know
Thursday, January 1, 2026 Yes, I just typed 2025. I wonder how long it will take to get used to a new number. We have had snow a lot of days. We don’t have that much snow, but it comes often and you have to clean it up. Keith plowed our driveway and Maren’s (they
Wednesday, December 31, 2025 We went to the movies this afternoon. I really enjoyed Song Sung Blue. There is lots of Neil Diamond music and that can never be bad. It’s based on a true story of a couple from Milwaukee. They played at the state fair a lot and the fair scenes most definitely
