We crossed the “money saving” bridge into Kentucky for our walk today. That phrase hails from our earliest days when we moved here thirteen years ago almost to the day. Gas is always cheaper in KY or at least it used to be before Costco came to town but that’s besides the point. Most of […]
Today marks Mason’s fifteenth birthday. How quickly the time has flown! Our 9 pound, 10 ounce baby now stands almost six feet tall. Unbelievable! He started the day with a breakfast of champions: strawberries with whipped cream and a slice of moist mango cake. Then Bill swept Mason off to the BMV to take the […]
We went to the AMC theater today. Unfortunately, it was closed. Fortunately, we were more interested in the destination than the movies themselves. Bill wanted to walk from our house to the West Side. He chose the AMC because it was the farthest destination from our home before USI. Google maps calculates the driving distance […]
Bill and I returned to O’Bannon Woods State Park today. When we went two weeks ago, we tried to reach the site were the scouts had camped, but because our time had been limited, we had to turn around before we reached it. That hike was only about five miles round trip. This time we […]
My last haircut was February 25th, 2020. One hundred thirteen days later, I finally got another one. Since I usually have a haircut every three weeks, I was 92 days late. My hair would not be considered long by many, but for a short hair gal, I was beginning to feel like Rapunzel. One of […]
Holiday World opened today as part of Stage 4. It will operate at 50% capacity and will adhere to social distancing guidelines. Guests will have to purchase their tickets online for specific park dates and they will use virtual queues for rides. They have Holicash wristbands and Apple and Android pay to allow for touchless […]
My birthday was filled with kindness and joy. I woke up under the birthday quilt. Bill always remembers! We got up early to go to 7 AM Mass. Unfortunately, the parish website (which Bill read) said daily Masses had resumed this week but the weekly newsletter (which he does not receive) said they would resume […]
Before I talk about the sewing I did today, I want to say how nice it was to see people we knew at church today. We zoomed in from home but this was one of the first weekends when the congregation was invited back into the physical building. I have missed my church community. (Many […]
Joey’s quilt is now basted, partially quilted and will soon need to be bound. I looked through all of my stash for a coordinating binding I had nothing that would do. That necessitated a trip to Joann. For some reason, I find that when I’m looking for something specific, there is nothing at the store […]
Today, like yesterday, started with an early morning walk. For some reason lately I have not been sleeping very well and a walk is all the energy I can muster. Kim texted me as I headed out the door and we got to speak for almost an hour. Being two hours ahead has its advantages […]
