Wednesday, May 22, 2024 Alexander came home from Illinois today. He was going to come and pick up Sophie and Colby, but we volunteered to take them to him. It’s a long drive and we thought it would be nicer for him. We didn’t think about wrangling the kitties into containers. They really don’t go […]

Tuesday, May 21, 2024 I’ve been subbing for the same person for 3 days, but it’s in media so I haven’t really had the same classes in 3 days. What I have had is 3rd, 4th and 5th graders using endless amounts of cardboard to create carnival games for little kids to play. It’s been

Monday, May 20, 2024 I worked in the media center last Friday. They are giving the classes that get all of their books returned by May 24 freezy pops as a reward. There were eight classes that had gotten them all in and we counted out the requisite number of pops and ribboned them together.

Sunday, May 19, 2024 My friend, Carla, and I decided to volunteer at Doors Open, because I thought it was such a great opportunity for people to explore their community when Keith and I went last year. We said we would go to any location, and we were assigned to The Capri Theater in north

Saturday, May 18, 2024 Keith was in Eau Claire last night, but I wasn’t afraid to be home alone, because I have protector cats! I went right to sleep – even with the light OFF – and slept soundly (until Colby stood on me and put his head under my hand…repeatedly). Yay for company in

Friday, May 17, 2024 Alexander has gone to Illinois for a week so the kittens have come over for babysitting. They are very fuzzy. I have been brushing handfuls of fur off of them, but they are still not naked. They go wherever I go, most of the time. Keith left for Eau Claire tonight,

Thursday, May 16, 2024 I subbed in special ed today. I was team teaching in the same Algebra class I taught yesterday – same subject and grade, just at another school. The differences in the classes was amazing. Yesterday was a traditional math class – write down the definition and formula, watch two examples, do

Wednesday, May 15, 2024 I knew we had no food at home, so I planned ahead, took a Ziploc bag to Epcot yesterday, and got two ham and cheese on baguette sammiches for lunch today. When Keith was next in line, suddenly the entire staff paused and posed for a picture. Keith took the picture!

Tuesday, May 14, 2024 We looked at our view from the Grand Floridian and admired the chandelier and ceiling high enough for juggling in our room. Our chandelier had glass birds – with one of them being a penguin. We checked out and dropped our bags at bell services. We planned to walk to the

Monday, May 13, 2024 What a day!! It’s 1am and we just got settled into our new hotel room. We said good-bye to the Boardwalk this morning and set off to do Epcot. My gout foot spread over to my other foot last night and I was afraid I was going to have to wheelchair
