Friday, January 3, 2024 We need to leave for the airport at 5am tomorrow. Alexander is okay with taking us, but I need to know he isn’t going to sleep through his alarm, so he has come to sleep here. He also worries about being late when early morning things are happening, so he is […]
Thursday, January 2, 2025 I don’t officially have to make my New Year’s resolution until winter vacation is done. That is not until January 13th this year. Woohoo. But I already made it. I have decided to use a spoon rest this year. I have a spoon rest. I put spoons next to it. There
Wednesday, January 1, 2025 Yes, I did just type 2024 and had to change it. Happy New Year! We had a spectacular day watching recordings of brass bands competing at Brass in Concert from November. Mike and Mary came and we talked and talked and talked, then settled in to watch the top 5 bands.

Tuesday, December 31, 2024 I looove New Year’s! It feels so fresh and exciting – a new start while remembering all the good from the past year. My head has been absolutely bursting with thoughts.

Thursday, December 26, 2024 We had an appointment to get new tires at noon, but Keith, Benjamin, and Sean were all working, so I sat at Sam’s Club for a little while and waited for tires to be done. I bought a less than half priced bag of candy that said it had 315 pieces.
Wednesday, December 25, 2024 I hope everyone had a lovely day with family and friends! We did. We had our traditional brunch of sawdust sausage (my mom’s name for sawmill gravy over biscuits) and eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns. Benjamin and Alexander did research and drove to the far side of Canada (or Maple Grove) to
