We sat down to eat lunch and I was facing the front door. I took one bite, and said, “Keith, there’s a guy in the front yard.” I say things like that (when there is a guy in the front yard) because I am not very interested in interacting with random people (front yard or […]

I am sooooo aware that there are so many things I don’t know. I absolutely love learning how much other people know. Keith has been suspicious that there is some kind of leak in the pool since last year. It had to be a small leak, since it continued to be questionable whether or not

We were heading home today, but not before we stopped over to John’s for lunch. My brother and sister ordered wimpy little medium sized root beers. Keith and I ordered large mugs. The very friendly worker told us that they didn’t have large mugs (I was thinking…but I always have a giant mug) because the

I made a family reunion. It was today. I got to meet this delightful young man. I would say more, but I am sunburned and tired, so, good night.

We were on our way to Madison and decided to stop at our favorite fast food place, Taco John’s. ( McDonald’s might be my favorite restaurant, so I am not sure how that works.) I have eaten at Taco John’s a LOT of times, (starting in 9th grade when I was in the musical Guys

I made these praline pecan bars. They smell sooooo good. They are soooooo hard. Too hard for old teeth, for sure. We couldn’t get them out of the pan until my sister recommended throwing them on the floor. I figured the counter was harder than the floor, so I banged the pan really hard, and

Last summer, we went to an outdoor concert in Stillwater. As we waited for the show to start, I was watching people coming in. Our friends were playing and I always hope and hope and hope for a big audience turn-out. I saw a man I instantly recognized even though it has been a few
