Thursday, September 19, 2024 We went to the History Theater to see the play Behind the Sun. It was a black family in 1958 trying to buy a house in Minneapolis. They were unable to get a loan, even though they had jobs, because they lived in a bad neighborhood. They couldn’t get out of […]

Wednesday, September 18, 2024 How can it only be Wednesday? Work. Working every day makes the week go more slowly. The potd is my 8th grade friend’s head. How great is it? I think he is terrific for feeling confident going a less usual way with his hair. TERRIFIC! And I think it looks great.

Tuesday, September 17, 2024 Hello lunar eclipse of the Harvest Supermoon. The supermoon started last night and was messing with our seeing the northern lights (a bit). Tonight, the Earth is getting in the way of its shininess. We were just out in the cul-de-sac, looking at it and visiting with the neighbors. Today was

Monday, September 16, 2024 I have been hoping to see the northern lights forever and tonight I finally did. We pay attention to the notices of when they are supposed to be able to be seen in Minnesota, and drive out looking for some dark-ish place to look, but have never seen a thing. Keith

Sunday, September 15, 2024 That must have been some party because it was a very slow morning. We met the Jushkas at Kopps for an early lunch before setting off with Emma and Levi for home(s). We were there yesterday (because the flavor of the day was WEDDING CAKE!), but there is no such thing

Saturday, September 14, 2024 It was a BEAUTIFUL wedding. Liz wrote her vows in the car on the way to the wedding – but if no one told me, I would never have known. Brandon’s vows were sooo nice, but he said the tears in his eyes made the words not look like words. NickBower

Friday, September 13, 2024 We picked up Emma and Levi in Menomonie and drove to Waukesha for Liz’s wedding tomorrow. It hasn’t worked out to ride together before and it was nice having company this time. Donna and Michael were here at Nancy’s to scoop them up, so we ate popcorn and had a time

Thursday, September 12, 2024 We went to see the musical version of Back to the Future tonight. I have absolutely no idea how Doc Brown came sliding into the Twin Pines Mall parking lot when Marty first got there. No Delorean, blink, Delorean. I liked it. The actors did pretty good imitations of their movie

Tuesday, September 11, 2024 I love to take pictures. Keith is a saint for all of the time he has spent just waiting for me to take pictures of everything – flowers, garbage, kids, you name it, I saw a picture that wanted to be taken. Our kids always say “if we don’t have a

Tuesday, September 10, 2024 I’m going to work on Thursday, so the end of my summer long vacation is looming. I always think I am going to “do” something during the summer, while I am not working. This year I thought I would organize all the stuff in the giant closet known as Benjamin’s room.
