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.

Monday, September 9, 2024 It was a gorgeous , 80 degree day. I was out floating around, watching a lot of bees fly to and from the sedum. I took a picture – just one – and didn’t even look at, I was so sure it would have a bunch of bees. I was wrong.

Sunday, September 8, 2024 Alexander attacked his backyard after work on Friday and worked a lot yesterday. He created some huge piles of unwanted vegetation. I went this morning to help while Keith played at church. I pulled one foot tall weeds (he got all the 5 foot kinda ones yesterday), while he attacked all

Saturday, September 7, 2024 I retrieved Nancy from a lovely overnight visit at Emma’s, (deer are so prevalent in her neighborhood that they are just walking around munching on yards during the day. A pack of them sleep in the park across the street at night) then we retrieved Keith from chamber orchestra rehearsal, and

Friday, September 6, 2024 I hopped out of bed quite quickly (okay, astonishingly quickly because it was directly after I woke up, not after 90 minutes of playing on my phone) because I needed to make cupcakes. My friend, Mark, is having a birthday party tomorrow and I made chocolate cherry cupcakes for him. I
