Monday, September, 18, 2023 I signed up to work at the Next Step program for today. Next Step is for students with IEPs (Individual Education Plans) between 18 and 21 years old. They work on job training and independent living skills, as well as other things. I had already scheduled a four-day job there in […]

Sunday, September 17, 2023 There was a special event at the arboretum today – a blown glass pumpkin display with over 5,000 pumpkins, which would be sold to benefit the artists and the arboretum. We figured you can’t go wrong looking at glass pumpkins, so we got timed tickets for 11am. It’s way on the

Saturday, September 16, 2023 We went to see the third Big Fat Greek Wedding movie this morning at 10:45. I wonder if that’s what it’s called. There was no wedding. Oh, my god, yes there was. HA! I forgot. There was a wedding! I bet that is what it is called because there is a

Tuesday, September 12, 2023 To get ourselves a treat! We went to a movie premiere tonight!! I read that a local Woodbury man made his first feature length film set in and filmed at our local (now closed forever) drive in movie theater, and that it was premiering at our local theater, The Woodbury 10.

Monday, September 11, 2023 It’s impossible to write that date and not think of the horrors that happened 22 years ago, but I don’t have any new thoughts to add today, so I am going to think my own thoughts about the sad subject and move on to happier things. Like the fact that my

Sunday, September 10, 2023 Benjamin, Sean, and I went mall walking this morning while Keith was playing at a church. I told them that it was nice outside and that we could just walk, but there was interest in buying something at the mall, so we went early to walk and catch Pokémon Gos. I

Saturday, September 9, 2023 We bought our house 6 years ago! What a good and fun decision that was. Keith’s idea was that we were done with the boy raising part of life and we should be on to the party having part of life. We have been trying to up our game this year
