Thursday, August 1, 2024 Alexander came over for dinner (and to pick up the gallon of John’s root beer we brought back for him). I was feeling crummy – weird blood pressure/thumpy-heart day that just left me sitting in a chair (then sleeping in a chair) most of the day – so Keith and Alexander […]
Wednesday, July 31, 2024 We stayed at Melanie’s, and Vonnie came (with Mark) for lunch, so it was time for a family picture. I think it is quite a good shot. Keith knocked off work a little early so we could stay ahead of the weather. It was a hot, humid day, with likelihood of
Tuesday, July 30, 2024 We repeated lunch at John’s , because it was just that good yesterday. Karen came over and trounced us at Rummikub – it was great fun. After Keith finished work, we headed to Madison for a different sister visit – Keith’s sister Melanie has welcomed us in for the night.
Monday, July 29, 2024 I indulged in a few cookies for breakfast. We went to John’s Root Beer stand for lunch. It was raining, but we scored a table under the eaves. We had our dogs (chili, sloppy joe, and sauerkraut), plus cheese curds and ultimate fries (chili, cheese, onions, and jalapenos), regular and diet
Sunday, July 28, 2024 It was my niece Liz’s bridal shower today. We played very fun games – getting points for things on our phones (like Let’s Make a Deal, but with phones!), passing flowers around to those with given attributes, and the classic remembering things on a tray (or were they on the tray?).
Saturday, July 27. 2024 Today was exemplary! Today was the kind of day that you hope everyone has and notices how great it is while it is happening. I sure did. We woke up at a reasonable time to take care of the pool and the flowers, pack for the trip (yes! a trip!) and

I wonder how many times they watched it. The Phipps performance tonight was very good – all the actors were well cast. The

Thursday, July 25, 2024 Does the picture of the day have to match what I write about? Of course not, because I am in charge and that is the way it is sometime. I did have a marvelous time hanging out by the pool with my friends today. When the boys said they were hungry,

Wednesday, July 24, 2024 There were posters and buses and billboards EVERYWHERE for the movie Twisters in Paris. Stacy said we would have to go see it when we got home (there was just no time to learn French and see it there), so we went tonight. I had checked to see if it was

Tuesday, July 23, 2024 We have been taking our can recycling to fund raiser bins since we moved to Minnesota. I have no idea how much they get for aluminum these days, but we are definitely not the only people who do it. The bin was really full today. This church parking lot bin is
