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 […]
Wednesday, December 28, 2022 Benjamin and Sean were originally planning to go home yesterday, but they lingered longer, extending our Christmastime by a day. Wooohoooo! I made a lasagna for lunch, because I had gotten fresh mozzarella and needed to get it used. Sean can’t have noodles, so that wasn’t the best idea, but we
And then they were gone Read More »
Tuesday, December 27, 2022 Today was great. It started early – we were up at 5am, as Keith was picking up his sister and family at the airport at 5:40am. As the real day started, Benjamin and Keith were working, Sean was running all over delivering presents and visiting, and I was just enjoying their

Monday, December 26, 2022 Our boxes stayed in their places today. Keith and Alexander did car maintenance, Benjin and Sean made festive calls, and I cooked dinner (second day in a row! With ingredients! Sean friendly!) This is the longest Christmas ever and it is great. Christmas should always be on Sunday.
Sunday, December 25, 2022 We had a wonderful day together. We hope you had a wonderful day, too.

As expected, I got 12 little puzzles (with no picture guidance) and unexpectedly, I got way better at doing puzzles!! I had so much fun doing them. I

Friday, December 23, 2022 It was COLD today. The blizzard winds didn’t really affect us beyond making the cold feel colder – the roads were a bit slick, and snow covered but blowing winds didn’t seem to be adding snow. It said the windchill was -39. We were discussing staying in all day, when we

Thursday, December 22, 2022 It’s Benjamin! He and Sean planned to come today, but then the big blizzard was coming and we told them to come Tuesday. Oh, wait. It was already Tuesday when we said that, so that didn’t work. We said, “Come Wednesday!” But it was late on Tuesday and getting ready and

Wednesday, December 21, 2022 Today was the last day of school before winter break. Keith dropped me off at school so he could use the RAV4 out in the snow today – it is always lovely to be driven anywhere. Since we had a test yesterday in Human Geography, today I taught the 9th graders

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
