Thursday, May 4, 2023 I wore my Baby Yoda shirt today in honor of Star Wars day. All of the kids I saw wearing Star Wars shirts came up to me and said, “May the Fourth be with you,” which I thought was wonderful. I was a huge fan of the original Star Wars. Huge […]

Wednesday, May 3, 2023 Remember when I was out with a broom, brushing heaps of snow off the crabapple tree? I may have saved some lower branches, but one of the upper ones did break. We didn’t even see it at first, but it was definitely broken. Keith hasn’t had good enough use of his
Tuesday, May 2, 2023 Remember when you couldn’t buy toilet paper because everyone already bought it all? That was weird, wasn’t it? This is not about that, but it sure was weird, so I mentioned it. I have been subbing at Lake Middle school lately and I recently found the staff bathrooms. I’ve been going

Thursday, April 27, 2023 ***Disclaimer*** This is just a big bit of whining about school today. You can skip it. About a month ago, I picked up a lang arts/critical thinking sub job. Tomorrow I start nine days at the same school for the math teacher I love subbing for, and I thought if I

Wednesday, April 26, 2023 What a splendid day. I helped my friend, Carla, organize the MN Horticultural Society fundraiser this morning. Well, I didn’t organize. I mostly carried pots of plants. I am not a gardener, but I was lucky that they weren’t selling any of the items today, because I am greatly enticed by

Tuesday, April 25, 2023 It was Gary’s birthday party in Hudson at the Pitchfork Brewery. Gary and Julie invited folks to come to play in a polka band and eat pizza. We went! There were several trumpets, a trombone, a horn, a drummer, two saxophones, a flute, a baritone, and (at most) six tubas. The
