Wednesday, August 9, 2023 I LOVED IT. I heard mutterings of it not being good and it being a box office failure. I think it is so bizarre that if not everyone rushes to the movie opening weekend, it is a failure. I didn’t actually read any reviews, because I don’t care what some person […]

Tuesday, August 8, 2023 I had no idea what this musical was about. It had music by Alanis Morisette, a name I know, but whose music is unfamiliar. There were warnings about drug usage and sex violence. I wasn’t too excited about it, to be honest. I really liked it. It was very funny. And

Monday, August 7, 2023 We didn’t see the super popular movies as a double feature, but we have now seen them both. I don’t think my brain was working quite right when I saw Barbie. I thought it was visually adorable, but the story confused me and I wasn’t sure if I like it or

Sunday, August 6, 2023 We got together with members of the Mississippi River Brass Band today. MRBB (yes, I call it Mr. BB) is planning a trip to France next July. The leader of the group told us all about the planned itinerary and I am ready to pack my bags. Everyone voted to not

Saturday, August 5, 2023 Our small neighbor is starting to learn to play the trumpet. She came over a couple of weeks ago because she had not had success at the “try an instrument” day at school. She wasn’t able to buzz on the mouthpiece on her first try, so she came for advice. Keith

Friday, August 4, 2023 I have lived within a block of these two cars for over 30 years. I think. I know I have lived within a block of this house for that long, and for as long as I can remember, two (actually, for most of the time there were three) old cars have

Thursday, August 3, 2023 Today was the first day of the state fair, but we had to leave for home, so we couldn’t go. We had my very favorite WI state fair treat – Usingers jalapeno and cheddar smoked brats on a pretzel bun and corn on the cob – before we left. I also

Wednesday, August 2, 2023 I like to go for a root beer at John’s Root Beer stand when I am in Waukesha. Our family was talking about what is the best root beer recently. The unanimous consensus was John’s, until the consideration was raised as to whether John’s was actually root beer, because it is

Tuesday, August 1, 2023 The pizza oven is portable, so we brought it along and invited everyone over for pizza. I rarely think about what the potd might be, but this afternoon while my sister and I were grocery shopping, I thought we would take a picture of our five siblings. Nope. I didn’t remember

Monday, July 30, 2023 It was Orange Dream and Butter Pecan at Kopp’s today, so it was a must go. Nancy and I have a perfect system of splitting a hamburger with the works, extra pickles, and raw onions. We each could eat a burger, and they are sooooo good, but we know we need
