Wednesday, January 22, 2025 The trial started and ended. The jury listened to testimony from three witnesses. They heard the 911 call. They saw the photos. They went to deliberate.

Tuesday, January 21, 2025 Can you imagine me on a jury? I’d worry about it for the rest of my life. It’s a good thing it was Keith who was called. He spent the morning waiting after being given instructions. He texted me at the lunch break, wondering if he should drive 30 minutes home,
Monday, January 20, 2025 Alexander sent this picture with the caption “Apply kitty directly to face”. Seems like a great way to help stay warm. Keith and I had the day of for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. We agreed that we would not leave the house, because it was -30 degrees with the wind

Wednesday, January 15, 2025 I got a very exciting email from Dr. Jerry this morning. “Well, I recycled the Christmas tree on Monday. When I got to the lot at the park, there was one other person there – a photographer from the Record Eagle (our local daily paper), and he asked if he could
Tuesday, January 14, 2025 My phone said it felt like -20 degrees when the alarm went off this morning. I scrapped my plan to wear my new shirt, which is a bit lightweight. I went to get Carl Fredrickson and he and I went off to elementary school. Here are some of the things I
Monday, January 13, 2025 It was zero and felt colder, so we sent Keith out to get us McDonald’s breakfast before Gary and Julie headed back to Edgerton. He ordered in the app. He went to the drive thru ordering place. He stopped at the get your receipt place (he said no thank you). He
