Wednesday, May 3, 2023 Remember when I was out with a broom, brushing heaps of snow off the crabapple tree? I may have saved some lower branches, but one of the upper ones did break. We didn’t even see it at first, but it was definitely broken. Keith hasn’t had good enough use of his […]

Tuesday, May 2, 2023 Remember when you couldn’t buy toilet paper because everyone already bought it all? That was weird, wasn’t it? This is not about that, but it sure was weird, so I mentioned it. I have been subbing at Lake Middle school lately and I recently found the staff bathrooms. I’ve been going

Monday, May 1, 2023 I didn’t buy the Tomato Blood because I wasn’t in the market for ketchup. If I had been, I would have. I might still.

Sunday, April 30, 2023 We watched Bruce Springsteen on the CBS Sunday morning show. What fun. Get up and there is Bruce on the TV. Then we set out for Beaver Dam to meet our dear friends (I was going to say old friends, but we are getting to an age that that isn’t the

Saturday, April 29, 2023 Oh, my goodness, it is my gramma’s birthday. I didn’t realize the date until I just typed the date. She was born 125 years ago and her name was Hazel Maud – named for her father’s two best horses (or so her story went). Happy birthday, Gramma! We had Rocky Rococo

Friday, April 28, 2023 We are off to Madison tonight because my cousin, Sam, wrote a play and we want to go to see it. We coordinated the timing so we can go to friends’ big band concert on the way home on Sunday. Today was such a good day at school (same school!) and

Thursday, April 27, 2023 ***Disclaimer*** This is just a big bit of whining about school today. You can skip it. About a month ago, I picked up a lang arts/critical thinking sub job. Tomorrow I start nine days at the same school for the math teacher I love subbing for, and I thought if I

Wednesday, April 26, 2023 What a splendid day. I helped my friend, Carla, organize the MN Horticultural Society fundraiser this morning. Well, I didn’t organize. I mostly carried pots of plants. I am not a gardener, but I was lucky that they weren’t selling any of the items today, because I am greatly enticed by

Tuesday, April 25, 2023 It was Gary’s birthday party in Hudson at the Pitchfork Brewery. Gary and Julie invited folks to come to play in a polka band and eat pizza. We went! There were several trumpets, a trombone, a horn, a drummer, two saxophones, a flute, a baritone, and (at most) six tubas. The

Monday, April 24, 2023 I was excited to go back to kindergarten this morning. Elementary schools were off for a workshop day, so they had had me the last time they were at school. The paraprofessional who had helped me do everything on Thursday was going to be gone, but she assured me she had
