Today was the first day of vacation for the boys and as such I didn’t see them very early. That gave me plenty of time to jump on the exercise machine and knit another coffee cozy. My collection is growing but I have a few more to go until I get to 30. Bill went […]
This morning we had the sudden inspiration and desire to take advantage of Bill’s free Saturday with no work responsibilities and drive to St. Louis to pick up bookshelves for Mason’s room. The weather was dreary and wet, precluding any walks for us, so it was actually a perfect day to go. Mason zonked the […]
Bill had today off from work and we took advantage of the time to go for an urban walk. When we initially discovered Alvord Boulevard a few weeks ago, we walked north. Today we parked near that starting point and walked south, making our way up and down the side streets which we called fingers. […]
After dropping off Mason at school today, I had to get busy. Having a limited amount of time upped my productivity. By the time my 11 am meeting began, I had accomplished quite a bit including my usual chores of cleaning the bathroom, mopping, and vacuuming as well as wrapping gifts and baking granola for […]
Yesterday was a pretty quiet day around here. Schmitt arrived promptly at 7:30 am to begin working on creating the zones for our home. They turned off the heat and as a result, it got rather cold in here. Thankfully, I had plenty of knitwear to keep me warm. I puttered around the house doing […]
Yesterday was mostly an admin day. Bill had to work in the afternoon at the Covid clinic but had the morning free since it was technically his day off. We were both industrious. I did elf work for Christmas and Bill patched the hole in the tub. The contractor stopped by and we now have […]
Mason and Bill sneaked off a few days ago and bought each one of us ornaments to commemorate this year. We added them to the tree as we decorated today. First, I received a dated 2020 Precious Moments, Every Bunny Loves a Christmas Hug, and then a Wonder Woman Rocks guitar which plays a version […]
Today was a pretty low key day. This morning Bill did not have a baby to see or an early morning meeting so he offered to take Mason to school. That meant I was able to attend a 7 am meeting. Throughout the day, things were pretty normal for a Thursday. After school Mason went […]
It’s always hard to return to the regular schedule and early wake up after a long weekend so I eased into the morning with a cup of coffee and a little charity knitting. It wasn’t long before the predicted snow arrived. The light flakes gradually got thicker but none of it stuck for long. It […]
This Thanksgiving was quite different for many people as the effects of Covid-19 and the increasing high number of cases warranted changes in many people’s plans. Since we have not lived near family for many years, we are accustomed to having our own version of Thanksgiving and making it uniquely ours. In many ways, this […]
