Tuesday, April 8, 2025 The appointment to get two new tires put on the little car was at 4:00. Tom and Louise volunteered to pick us up at Sam’s Club auto place and drive us to Tono so they could try it out (we have raved, after all) and we could enjoy dinner together. We […]

Monday, April 7, 2025 We’ve been wandering around the house thinking about packing and finding all sorts of interesting things. I found a tortilla soup mix in the pantry and decided to make it for supper. I added chopped turkey rather than ground turkey, and a can of diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce –

Sunday, April 6, 2025 We went to see the one man show Under the Lintel at the Phipps Friday night. I had to divert the potd to Sophia and George, but I want to mention it now. The show was about a Dutch librarian whose library received an overdue book that had been checked out

Saturday, April 5, 2025 We went to the Sonnentag Center in Eau Claire to see Bob Dylan tonight. We found out the Erbert and Gerbert’s on Water Street is closed. It has been there a loooong time, so we were sad, but we were happy to find out there is another one up off Clairemont.

Monday, March 31, 2025 There was a ghost on our pool this morning. Woooooooo. Alexander came over for dinner and taxes. He brought his splurge purchase of 2024 – a rice cooker. It made rice better than the stove does. We watched Chopped together like the older days. Such fun.

Sunday, March 30, 2025 Surprise! We are moving! Yes, we put in an offer on the house next door this morning and it was accepted. We have been seeeeeriouuuussssly considering it all week. We had a great conversation with Maren and Rob about buying our house, then we laboriously tried to figure out (together) what
