Tuesday, October 29, 2024 I got a letter from my sister yesterday. It was the best. I want to share, so here it is (with her permission). She was sending me something I left at her house, and I have taught her that you can’t send something without writing at least a little bit. We […]
Monday, October 28, 2024 There’s nothing like a bit of Shakespeare on a Monday night. The Open Door theater in Inver Grove Heights is close to finishing their run of MacBeth and we were front row center. 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!! Their greenhouses are in use 12 months of the year – and he said that is very important because they are very expensive

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
Wednesday, October 23, 2024 Keith and I went to vote today. I wore my Harris Walz shirt, because I had to, but I saw the sign when we went in that said I wasn’t allowed to wear it. I considered that before I went, so I had a jacket on that I quickly zipped up.
Tuesday, October 22, 2024 I drove home from work today thinking that it couldn’t be more beautiful outside. I went up the stairs saying, “Is it naptime or drive in the convertible time?” Nothing. I went in to change my clothes and asked again. Nothing. I went to Keith’s office. Nothing. Mmmm. I looked out
Monday, October 21, 2024 I wanted our drive to Red Wing for brass band to be in the sunny part of the day, so we decided to leave early and eat dinner there instead of before we left. We drove the river road on the Wisconsin side. Lots of leaves were blown off during yesterday’s

Sunday, October 20, 2024 Benjamin and Sean were leaving and I said they coordinated with Keith, so there should be a picture. They immediately started spinning. 🤦😂 We went for a convertible ride after they left, to enjoy 80° and fall colors. Nice. We saw Some Like it Hot tonight. So much tap dancing. I
