Wednesday, March 5, 2025 Our brother Dave sent us a picture of a previous Nancy birthday this morning. He said he wasn’t sure what year it is from, but it wasn’t last year, because last year they went to a cool restaurant and the picture isn’t from there. It snows on Nancy’s birthday. Almost always.

Tuesday, March 4, 2025 I read an article a week or so ago that worldsbestcinnamonrolls.com had given a Minneapolis bakery, Isles Bun & Coffee, the best of 2025 award. We went there to check it out. While we were en route, I checked their website and under the menu it said, “All our goodies are

Monday, March 3, 2025 I had the great idea to make a few Cajun dishes for Fat Tuesday, but then we realized we would like to go back to Tono for the Tuesday special – so Fat Monday was born. Chicken Tchoupitoulas was a given, then we decided corn maque choux and added a box

Tuesday, February 25, 2025 I was back subbing at the same job as I was yesterday. It went much better, since it could hardly have gone worse. Chaos broke out in my first class, and I called for administrative help. The vice-principal took 6 kids. Everything settled down. Next class, I called again, and three

Monday, February 24, 2025 I had a buuuusssy day in 7th grade math. I needed help from multiple regular teachers to contain the roar of my classes. I am so happy they were able to help me. One of my favorite bits of help was when I called the office to ask how many times
