Sunday, June 23, 2024 We were invited to a music friends potluck at our other Gary and Julie’s house today. We had a lovely time sitting on their lovely deck. The door prize Julie won in Iowa last week is prominently and perfectly displayed next to the front door.

Saturday, June 22, 2024 We went to see The Garfield Movie this afternoon and we really liked it. Keith was a big Garfield fan back in the day. Garfield is a big eater, and I really wanted to eat a lot of his treats. We went to Tom and Louise’s for game night and Louise
Friday, June 21, 2024 The music from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella is my favorite. I like ballads, I like waltzes, I like Cinderella songs. Keith got an email from the Woodbury community theater today advertising their production. We were free tonight, so off we went. The orchestra was not good. Sometimes bad. The upside is
Thursday, June 20, 2024 We were right back to the same theater tonight as we were in last night. It’s fun to order season tickets and not know what the shows are going to be. This one was a comedy written in 1746 for a famous Harlequinn of the day. It started with an actor

Wednesday, June 19, 2024 Today was a work holiday for Keith and he spent the entire day making plane, hotel, train, and theater plans for the upcoming European holiday. YAY! We have a plan. I saw an ad a couple weeks ago for a dueling piano show at Lyric Arts and I was all in.

Monday, June 17, 2024 When I looked at Emma’s wedding registry to order a shower present, the first thing on the list was mustard spoons. I didn’t even know that was a thing. I said I was going to get one. Keith said she registered for three. I said I was going to get one.
Sunday, June 16, 2024 We got in the car to drive home from Iowa this morning (we didn’t set alarms, but Keith woke up early. When I opened my eyes, he was sitting on the other bed, looking at me. He looked me awake. He swore he hadn’t been staring at me…but…hmmmm), I looked at
Saturday, June 15, 2024 The second annual Wurst Brass Fest was lots of fun. There were two music sites – inside a giant barn (Festhalle) and outside the Millstream Brewing Company. Keith played with the Sheldon Theater Brass band as well as the Metro Brass Quintet (twice – in and out). I stayed inside all
Friday, June 14, 2024 Hello from Iowa. We had a nice drive down today, through the countryside. We had some highway time, but lots of two lane roads and green hills. It is the second annual Wurst Brass Festival here in the Amana Colonies. Keith played flugelhorn with the Sheldon band. They played two matches
