Tuesday, June 18, 2024 We went to see Inside Out 2 (I really like when movie people can think of more clever titles for sequels than just putting a 2 at the end. I have no suggestions for this one, but they are clever people. There is one, I’m sure). We had popcorn and we […]
Monday, June 17, 2024 When I looked at Emma’s wedding registry to order a shower present, the first thing on the list was mustard spoons. I didn’t even know that was a thing. I said I was going to get one. Keith said she registered for three. I said I was going to get one.

Tuesday, June 11, 2024 Nancy and I had a splendid day getting ready for our niece Emma’s wedding shower. Nancy had done all the work in advance and I just had to help assemble. It was great! No decisions for me 🙂 We had a couple activities and a game, ate the wonderful food, and

Sunday, June 9, 2024 We are home. The wind blew us through Iowa and into Minnesota. We stopped in Owatanna at the Russel Stover outlet store and bought a few chocolate things. Then we went to the Mall of America and bought a few chocolate things for prizes for my niece’s bridal shower. We finished
