Sunday, August 11, 2024 Keith had a Metro Brass rehearsal tonight for the first time since early April 2023. I mentioned it to Benjamin and Sean (we were driving to see a middle school science teacher at his retirement home. He had been in the hospital for a long stretch and is stable and back […]

Saturday, August 10, 2024 Benjin and Sean brought friends over to live the pizza oven life. The smallest friend was busy mowing the driveway with his own mower, so we spontaneously moved the party out to the driveway. It was a glorious 70 degrees, sunny day. Perfect.
Friday, August 9, 2024 My friend, Carla, is in charge of putting together auction baskets for her church’s fall festival. We went to Michael’s (crafty store) to look for bargains.

Saturday, August 3, 2024 Donna called on Thursday to say she was in Menomonie at Emma’s house. She rode back from the shower trip with Emma, and they were going to paint the bathroom. She was considering taking the train home, or Michael would come to get her. I said train, but she gets very
Friday, August 2, 2024 We parked in our usual not-so-close parking ramp and were walking to the concert when I asked, “Where are we sitting?” I kind of expected Keith not to know, because you just get what you can get and figure it out when you arrive. He said, “on the main floor.” I
