Tuesday, December 20, 2022 We went back to Hudson (no scary roads tonight) to hear the Twin Cities Trumpet Ensemble, led by Keith’s friend, Jim, play a brass and organ concert. They had a fabulous announcer, Michael Barrone from MPR. The organist came out to play a solo piece and Michael was talking about those […]

Monday, December 19, 2022 We crept to Orchestra Hall tonight on the slippery, snowy roads. There seem to be too many slippery, snowy roads lately. There were several crashes (the electronic signs on the roads always use the term “crashes”. It makes sense – accidents is longer and probably doesn’t fit – but crashes sounds

Sunday, December 18, 2022 What a great day. We had a little present for Tom and Louise and asked to stop by, saying we didn’t have to stay long. Their response was come any time and stay long. We stayed long. We stayed the whole day! They got us a great new game, which we

Saturday, December 17, 2022 Yesterday, I got an update on my job. You will recall that I started off the year working half time – subbing for a friend on the days that chemo knocked her out. Those days became more frequent, and I added days to more than half time, until the start of

Tuesday, December 13, 2022 I pulled out of the garage this morning and the grown-up snow people were still sleeping. These snow people are quite demanding. When it snows, you have to go out and clean them off, because they just grab up all the snow and keep it. Now, they keep just lying down

Monday, December 12, 2022 It’s not the 12th day of Christmas, but it is the 12th day of December – and my true love gave to me an estate planning class through community ed. It was so much fun. I bet you are not believing me and think that was sarcasm, but it wasn’t at

Sunday, December 11. 2022 Two parties on two consecutive nights is terrific! I slept in reallllly late (9:30) (9:30!!) (We went to bed at 1:??, so that was a solid sleep). I spent half an hour on my phone, wasting time, then suddenly remembered we were having another party and I needed to bake a
