Benjamin and Alexander did research and drove to the far side of Canada (or Maple Grove) to […]

Tuesday, December 24, 2004 We ran a few errands and saw some friends today. It is so fun to see people the day before Christmas, because everyone is SO happy. Keith cooked the best brisket he has ever made, and we feasted on it and sweet potatoes and corn. (It was mentioned that the side

Tuesday, December 17, 2024 Keith had a gig tonight playing Christmas music at Beast BBQ with the Star of the North Jazz Orchestra. I asked what he had to wear and he said something festive. I said he should wear his red Mickey Mouse holiday sweater. He did not remember he had a Mickey Mouse

Monday, December 16, 2024 We went out and did a bit of in person shopping tonight. It was fun. On the way home, we passed this light display. We had to go around the block to see it again and take a picture for you. The lights are on suspended strings and the picture alternates
