Thursday, June 13, 2024 What a day, what a day, what a day. My friends Christina, Benjamin, and William came for the first pool day of the summer. The boys were thrilled and played and jumped and splashed for hours while Christina and I chatted about everything – what bliss! -then we got in the […]

Wednesday, June 12, 2024 Nancy and I went to see brother Dave and sister-in-law Jayne’s new kitchen, which is under construction. IT IS FABULOUS! I took pictures with Nancy’s phone, because of course I never remember to take mine. I then did not remember to text the pictures to myself. It doesn’t matter, because they

Tuesday, June 11, 2024 Nancy and I had a splendid day getting ready for our niece Emma’s wedding shower. Nancy had done all the work in advance and I just had to help assemble. It was great! No decisions for me 🙂 We had a couple activities and a game, ate the wonderful food, and

Monday, June 10, 2024 There is a newly scheduled train running between St Paul and Chicago. We’ve heard a lot about it on the news, as it came into service. When I found out I wanted to be in Waukesha by myself on June 11, I thought of the train. It takes 6 hours to

Sunday, June 9, 2024 We are home. The wind blew us through Iowa and into Minnesota. We stopped in Owatanna at the Russel Stover outlet store and bought a few chocolate things. Then we went to the Mall of America and bought a few chocolate things for prizes for my niece’s bridal shower. We finished

Saturday, June 8, 2024 We got to the American Jazz Museum in Kansas City, MO, about 1:30. We stopped for a quick breakfast and lunch on the way – neither of them turned out to be quick. Oh well. I liked everything they had at the museum, but I wish there was more. There were

Friday, June 7, 2024 I chose the show Million Dollar Quartet about a night in December of 1956 that actually happened and was recorded: Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash got together and played music at Sun Records in Memphis. The recordings were released in the early 1980s, but I have never

Thursday, June 6, 2024 Gary and Julie have tickets to a show tomorrow night, so they planned to leave today. Lucky for us, they weren’t in a big hurry and we got to have a nice lunch before they went. Keith found a place very close to us called the Pickin Porch Grill, which was

Wednesday, June 5, 2024 We went to the Immersive Disney Experience. We really enjoyed the Van Gogh exhibit a couple of years ago, so we thought we would give this a try. It wasn’t as good – but I don’t exactly know why. The best part was the floor. At first there were sparkles that

Tuesday, June 4, 2024 Julie just said that, and I thought it would be a better title than my idea: Arkansas? Where are we? What is happening? We took a scenic train ride and had beautiful views of the Ozarks. It was fun to sway along through the trees and the tunnels in the observation
