Wednesday, October 22, 2025 We so slept in, then Benjamin came in and we all chatted. Morning chats are good chats. The kitten brothers were having a big rest before we left. Benjamin and I went to the Vanilla Bean, a cooking store that carries a lot of cookie cutters. We did not find a […]
Tuesday, October 21, 2025 We are on vacation to Wisconsin. I remembered McDonald’s Boo Buckets started today, so did a happy meal stop instead of a rest area. It was delightful. There were stickers.
