Monday, June 10, 2024 There is a newly scheduled train running between St Paul and Chicago. We’ve heard a lot about it on the news, as it came into service. When I found out I wanted to be in Waukesha by myself on June 11, I thought of the train. It takes 6 hours to […]

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
Saturday, June 8, 2024 We got to the American Jazz Museum in Kansas City, MO, about 1:30. We stopped for a quick breakfast and lunch on the way – neither of them turned out to be quick. Oh well. I liked everything they had at the museum, but I wish there was more. There were

Friday, June 7, 2024 I chose the show Million Dollar Quartet about a night in December of 1956 that actually happened and was recorded: Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash got together and played music at Sun Records in Memphis. The recordings were released in the early 1980s, but I have never

Wednesday, June 5, 2024 We went to the Immersive Disney Experience. We really enjoyed the Van Gogh exhibit a couple of years ago, so we thought we would give this a try. It wasn’t as good – but I don’t exactly know why. The best part was the floor. At first there were sparkles that
Tuesday, June 4, 2024 Julie just said that, and I thought it would be a better title than my idea: Arkansas? Where are we? What is happening? We took a scenic train ride and had beautiful views of the Ozarks. It was fun to sway along through the trees and the tunnels in the observation

Monday, June 3, 2024 We went to see Reza the magician. There was lots of big magic and little magic. There was a snake in the box that the lady thought was a phone (I guess you had to be there). We all really enjoyed the show and came back to the hotel and talked

Sunday, June 2, 2024 Our music friend, Gary, married Julie about five years ago, which was lovely. They are a delightful couple. Alexander was soooo confused after that happened, because suddenly we had two Gary and Julies. The first Gary was my very first new friend in college, and he and his wife, Julie, were

Saturday, June 1, 2024 The car lady said stay in the right two lanes. Then as we passed a right exit, she said take the left exit 2L. I mean, she’s usually pretty good. She knows her stuff, but that was a total goof. We continued toward Memphis or some such place we were not
