Wednesday, October 5, 2022 (Happy Birthday, Maren!) We are in Canada! Keith was startled to find out that Tom and Louise have not been to Canada, because when they told him previously that they had not been to Canada, he thought that meant this Canada, not all Canada. That is still making me laugh. We […]

Tuesday, October 4, 2022 Today we had a beautiful, sunny, warm day in Bar Harbor, Maine. We wandered the picturesque downtown shops and looked at souvenirs and art and ice cream. There was rumor of lobster flavored ice cream, but we did not search for it. It seemed better left a myth. Louise fulfilled her

Monday, October 3, 2022 We made it to Boston! Huzzah! Tom and Louise have been to Boston and suggested we go to the Tea Party Museum. It sounded like fun education, so we were in. I looked around at things to do in Boston and the hop on / hop off bus tour sounded good.

Sunday, October 2, 20022 We are on the Enchanted Princess Fall Colors New England and Canada cruise. I took this cruise with my mom and sister about 6 years ago and on the second night the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew hit us. We were at dinner and they suspended service and asked us to go

Saturday, October 1, 2022 I got the last ham sandwich. I was so happy, and I wasn’t even hungry.  I suppose I need to back up. Last night we packed more clothes than we will need (I was worried I would be cold) (if you know me, you know that is ridiculous. I am not

Friday, September 30, 2022 (My sister got the Wordle in ONE! Whooo hoooo) I went to give blood after work today. I scheduled it at 4:00 to make sure I wouldn’t be late (out of school at 3:30 – 5 minute drive). Then I waited until 4:30. I know stuff happens, but sometimes it is

Thursday, September 29, 2022 (Happy Birthday, nephew William) We went to the Bloomington Center for the Arts tonight to see Collide Theatrical Dance Company perform Wonderland – a narrated show about mental health with Alice in Wonderland characters. I thought it was spectacular. It was in a black box theater and we were in the

Wednesday, September 28, 2022 The scary frogs (well, frog) are now inside the house. In the dining room, to be specific. I was packing my lunch in my backpack this morning and suddenly there was terror. The frog started hopping around. I screamed. Keith called down from the bedroom. I was frozen, afraid the frog

Tuesday, September 27th, 2022 We always say, “Let’s do a haircut before it’s really over due.” Then we don’t. This time I couldn’t move my arm, so that let even more time go by. Mid-haircut my shoulder said STOP IT, so we had to pause. Luckily, it decided we could continue. It would have been

Monday, September 26, 2022 (Today would have been my mom and dad’s 69th wedding anniversary) A long time ago – like 20 or 30 years – my brother said he thought people who lived in Wisconsin (or presumably MN, but I don’t think we lived here yet) (that makes it 30+ years ago) and had
