Saturday, January 7, 2022 Things I was thinking about today: Drivers! C’mon. Follow the rules of the road. If you screw up, it doesn’t mean you can just drive where you aren’t supposed to and make it dangerous for everyone else. Seriously. We almost got taken out by people traveling on the wrong side of […]
Friday, January 6, 2023 I was back at Woodbury Middle School, subbing for 7th grade science. This teacher is ultra-organized and always has a wonderful plan for me when I am there. I love doing science, because there is always work to be done (free time is a substitute killer), but there is also time

Thursday, January 5, 2022 I always think the 12th day is Epiphany, but if you start counting on Christmas the 12th day is the 5th. I take down the decorations on Ephiphany (if it is at all feasible), but I started early (today) this year. I undecorated our snowman tree. My mom liked snowmen (well,

Wednesday, January 4, 2022 Snow was forecast and it came. Surprise! I saw an official total of 13.5 inches at about 5pm, but it was still snowing – with the opportunity of 2 -4 more inches. School was cancelled – making this a really long winter break. I am sure no one minded. Keith snowblowed
Tuesday, January 3, 2023 Today is my brother-in-law’s birthday, and it was my dad’s birthday. I am thinking good thoughts about both of them. I worked a long day (with no students), handing over all the information to the new guy. He seems like a good guy. It was gratifying that three teachers I like

Monday, January 2, 2023 Yep, I typed 2022 and backspaced. I have been confused about this year the whole year. What year is it? I kept thinking it might already be 2023 half of the time, because people (and me) kept talking about plans for 2023. Or my brain is spongey and that is that.
Sunday, January 1, 2022 We decided to stay an extra day because the previously forecast weather has decided to delay itself and we think we can get home tomorrow without being in a blizzard. Why I actually believe the weather forecast is an entire mystery. We went to Donna and Michael’s house. They are babysitting

Friday, December 30, 2022 Benjamin and Sean gave me three books about Wisconsin Supper Clubs. One tells about the history of supper clubs and the other two showcase 50 individual supper clubs (each) from around the state. A new hobby has been born! One hundred meals to be savored and shared. We hadn’t planned to

Thursday, December 29, 2022 The orange paint showed up a couple months ago and the trees started disappearing this week. I saw (ironically) the Sav-a-Tree company taking down trees up the street earlier this week and knew they were on their way our way. We watched the professionals do their job really well. While we
