Saturday, November 2nd, 2024 We got a credit card that lets us into airport lounges (thanks Daniel). I was so excited. The first one we went to said we couldn’t come there until 3 hours before our flight. Since we had a 5 hour layover, that wasn’t yet. We went downstairs to try a different […]

Friday, November 1, 2024 We went to Cub to buy crackers on the night before Halloween and I insisted Keith get another punkin. He likes carving and for $6 he could have another one. He said he did NOT have any time – so much working and doing all the other things, but I insisted
Thursday, October 31, 2024 It was POURING when I went to work this morning – so hard I could hardly see the road. It rained until about 9, then it changed to snow. Obviously. Or not! It was 80 degrees TWO days ago. We went out convertibiling. Why can’t the weather just be nice to

Wednesday, October 30, 2024 I remembered that I hadn’t gotten a flu shot yet. I made an appointment at Sam’s club. We walked in and there was a table full of decorated punkins. I stopped to look at them, then realized I was in the way of the next people coming in. I apologized and

Keith was appreciating the proximity to the actors – he thinks he could understand them (and therefore the
Sunday, October 27, 2024 Carla, Mark, Keith and I went to take a tour of poinsettia greenhouses at Gerten’s Garden Center today. Lou Gerten was our tour guide. We learned so much!!

Saturday, October 26, 2024 They came back! The boys, I mean. I guess the leaves came back this year, like they always do, too. The boys rolled up with their supplies in two wagons. They are so polite, and so enthusiastic to work. I was so excited that I was not raking. I actually like
Friday, October 25, 2024 Keith got a front door notification (the front door pings his phone when someone is there) (usually it is a squirrel) and looked to see three boys with rakes. I said run and get them. I like when people rake for me. (It has never happened before, but I still hobbled
Thursday, October 24, 2024 It would have been my mom’s 93rd birthday today – Happy birthday, Mom! I’ve been thinking about you all day. I subbed in my favorite room today for the first time this year. It was a complete delight. I literally couldn’t have been happier. We were doing two step equations with
