Friday, August 18, 2023 Look at those numbers. How’s great are they? A palindrome and 1234. The friends left at 8:30am, which was sad and weird. This is the friend trip! They should still be here. I took my first solo trip to Magic Kingdom. I played in the caves on Tom Sawyer’s Island a

Thursday, August 17, 2023 Today is my brother-in-law Thom’s birthday. Thinking of you today, Thom. Disney World takes pictures on lots of rides and feeds them into your account so you can buy them.

Saturday, August 12, 2023 Today is the day we made our first return to Walt Disney World since March of 2020.

Thursday, August 11, 2023 It was a stunning day. My pool buddies came over, including an almost college freshman, and we had such fun talking about starting college and finishing summer and just enjoyed the day. They left and the sky got dark. Then darker. Then really dark. And then it hailed. I couldn’t work

Thursday, August 10. 2023 I used to be good at packing. Really good. Everything was organized by day, we had what we needed and didn’t have much extra. I was very happy if all the clothes came home in the dirty clothes bag and the snackables had been eaten and left room for souvenirs. Now,
