We always have a bocce ball tournament on the 4th of July, but this year things went a bit differently because Keith had a concert that evening and the party broke up early. We had our championship prizes – which were still on the refrigerator – so yesterday I thought I would try to gather […]

Saturday, September 3, 2022 Keith went to a new ENT yesterday. He went to her because he could get an appointment in less than 6 weeks. He has seen many, many ENTs and always hopes that the next one will have some ideas about how to fix his head. He’s had a few with some

Keith wanted a burger, so we went to Culver’s. We agreed that we would just order whatever we wanted. That is usually Keith’s way, but I have to calculate cost and stomach space and healthy (yes, I know…it is fast food) and think a lot. We had a coupon for BOGO double cheese burgers. I

I was visiting my friend tonight while Keith ran errands. He came to pick me up. When I opened the car door, there was a treat just waiting for me! Ooooooo! Good n Plenty is the BEST! My friend, Maren, has labeled my chosen treats Old Man Candy. I don’t think she is wrong –

Wednesday, August 31, 2022 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SISTER, DONNA!! During pandemic, we had the wonderful opportunity to gather in our friends’ backyard to watch an outdoor movie.

Tuesday, August 30, 2022 Today I went to work in the morning (to learn how to high school) and then thought I should clean things up around here. I actually really like when things are tidied up. I find it restful. I sat in a chair for a while, then I went in the pool,

Monday, August 29, 2022 Today I thought a lot about our three year vacation plan. I’ve had a multi-year vacation plan in my head as long as I can remember. I enjoy the planning and imagining, and in order to get the best deals, you have to start early. Pandemic threw that all under a

Sunday, August 28. 2022 I remember when we got our first recycling bin for curbside pick up. I was so excited to be doing the right thing. I remember when I first got reusable grocery bags, and had to work so hard to remember to take them to the store. Reduce ReUse Recycle is seared

We celebrated with the traditional dessert – pudding stuff. Pudding stuff needs to be made a day in advance, so the pudding stuff makes the graham crackers soft. Think about that. When would you want your graham crackers soft? Only in pudding stuff, I think. When I was making it yesterday, I asked Keith if

Friday, August 26, 2022 Look at that picture! That’s build your own state fair right there. Dave brought me Usinger cheddar jalapeno sausages from Wisconsin and I got pretzel buns at Cub. There’s part of me that wonders why anyone eats anything else. Keith and I each had one (I shared!) for dinner, and saved
