December 10. 2025 Donna brought a beautiful bouquet of flowers on Thanksgiving, and they have been thriving. It was enough flowers to fill two vases. There were several lilies in the group, and they have slowly bloomed. It smells like Easter at our house, and it is wonderful.
Tuesday, December 9, 2025 We had super light fluffy snow the other night and I hypothesized that you could use a leaf blower to blow off your car – now that leaf blowers come in cordless. Keith put ours in the car for me to try. It started snow-globe snowing midafternoon and I had plenty
Monday, December 8, 2025 I worked at two different schools today, so I told Keith I needed to drive myself. He was all worried, which was sweet, but I thought I could do it. And I did. I seem to be able to see big spaces pretty well – close up isn’t nearly as good.

Thursday, December 4. 2025 I met a kid with an unusual name today and asked him if he knew what inspired his parents. He was happy to share that they named him after a character in a movie I had never heard of. I looked it up – it’s from 1986 and has a character
Wednesday, December 3, 2025 How am I saying that? Because it’s true! We went to Theatre Latté Da to see My Fair Lady tonight and it was just stellar. ‘Enry ‘Iggins had a little bit a lateral lisp on his “s”. What?! The irony of having Higgins have a speech impediment was not lost on

Tuesday, December 2, 2025 After Woodbury Junior High changed to Woodbury Middle School 15ish years ago, there was a potluck before school started gathering those interested from WJH. The group continued to meet every summer until pandemic – then we increased the backyard visits! There are now nearly monthly gatherings. Tonight, we celebrated 60th birthdays
Monday, December 1, 2025 I started a weeklong sub job for my friend and neighbor, Maren, today. She is in Costa Rica. Yay for a December trip with friends and not kids. She has left wonderful sub plans, with easy to access smartboard slides. That is heaven for a sub. She also left five cherry
