Friday, September 23, 2022 We were off to Minneapolis tonight to see Jazz at Lincoln Center (led by Wynton Marsalis) with the Minnesota Orchestra. We got there with just moments to spare – after having to park quite a ways away. Our seats were perfect. PERFECT. On the aisle in the first balcony – easy […]

Thursday, September 22, 2022 I texted my friend about 5pm that I had wasted the entire day. Then I stopped and thought about what I had said. I said it because I had not done the dishes or the laundry – two things I had yesterday thought I would do first this morning. I considered

Wednesday, September 21, 2022 I woke up at 6:23 this morning, which is exactly what time I got up yesterday for work. But today was not a work day, so I (quite easily) convinced myself to snuggle in and sleep some more. The weather was cool and perfect for sleeping. (Remember the hot from yesterday?

Tuesday, September 20, 2022 Every fall when the kids were growing up, on nice, sunny days, I would say, “Go outside. It’s the last nice day ’til June.” You know – you’ve got to grab the nice days before winter gets you. Today was the last nice day ’til June. Driving home from school, it

Friday, September 16, 2022 I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that tires can be sent FedEx by putting a sticker on them and sending them, because I once mailed a coconut home from Florida with a sticker address label on it, but its delivery on the front porch made me laugh. All wheel drive cars

Thursday, september 15, 2022 I tore a bit of rotator cuff ago and I got cortisone shots and it was better. Today it is not better. I would like to adequately complain about the pain, but words fail me. OW. I also got the Wordle in two. And my brother got it in ONE. What

Wednesday, September 14, 2022 I win! The second of the guys (Benjamin’s friends) has a new baby daughter and she is fabulous! Tiny and sweet and perfect. We went to visit her grandparents and she brought her mom and dad to visit us. The new mama is really, really good at having a baby –
