Monday, July 24, 2023 It was nice to have them and nice that they could stay until Monday. Benjin and I spent some good pool time playing Top 3 (you know, what are your top three…theme park attractions based on a movie…book that was made into a movie….) and trying to balance in my floatie

Sunday, July 23, 2023 Streaks should be positive. Everything should be positive, right? But sometimes, you get a streak going and it is negative and then it’s a thing and then you can’t break it. In September, I told Alexander after he had not gone in our pool for 5 years of our living here

Saturday, July 22, 2023 It was gentlemen’s weekend, or by another name, a bachelor party. The last of the guys, Erick, is getting married in September and the guys gathered for a day of togetherness.

Friday, July 21, 2023 Well, they murdered that one to death. We went to see the spoof of an Agatha Christie play at the Phipps. It was not good. I thought it would have been better if it was better written and better acted. Keith thought it would have been fine if it was just

Tuesday, July 18, 2023 Apparently tomorrow is National Barbara Day! Who knew? I did not. My friend, Jean, put it on her Facebook (probably just to celebrate me) (teehee) and I have confirmed with the internet that tomorrow is my day. Huh. I am definitely going to figure out something to do to celebrate. The

Sunday, July 16, 2023 Donna and Michael and Emma came! It was a weirdly cold morning (hello July, I’m looking at you. The south is melting and Donna has on a sweatshirt and PANTS), so we turned up the heater on the pool. When they arrived, we had late afternoon swimming and then (slightly warmer)
