It was a Monday around here. Despite the fact that it was our first day back after a good long vacation break, we all made it out the door on time in a calm manner. I felt incredibly industrious and as the house began to settle for the first time in a few weeks, I […]
Since we went to mass last night, this morning had a very relaxed feel. We didn’t have to rush around and the boys made no effort to rise early. That will happen soon enough when they go back to school tomorrow. Bill and I took a walk early in the day and dropped off a […]
Today was a mellow Saturday. After my morning meeting, Bill and I quickly scooted out the door and headed off for a longer walk. We started over on Lincoln Avenue and Hebron and decided we would loop around Wesselman Woods as we have done in the past. We walked up Lincoln to Alvord Boulevard, over […]
We welcomed 2021 with rain, rain and more rain. I got up, did my morning workout and then eased into my day. In fact, Bill and I had quite some time alone before the kids were up. They are enjoying the high life of vacation—late to bed and late to rise. This afternoon after the […]
It’s New Year’s Eve and many people are ready to see 2020 come to a close. While there have been a lot of challenges this year, I’m not sure that I would call it a dumpster fire year. We’ve had to pivot and be flexible but we are all healthy and mostly happy. I spent […]

Even though the official December 25th day has passed, Christmas music still is playing in my car. I stumbled upon this song on my way home from picking up dinner from Pangea (YUM) and I wanted to share it with Bill. The lyrics caught my attention when I heard “tamale from the homie always go […]
On Christmas eve morning, Bill realized he didn’t have his credit card. He traced his steps all over, searching everywhere and returned to the last place he had used it. The mechanic was closed and he didn’t see the card in the parking lot. After careful monitoring that it was not being used, we crossed […]
This morning I had the pleasure of catching the morning sunrise and the evening sunset. To do my bit to fight the virus, I volunteered to help with the St. Vincent Covid-19 vaccinations. My shift was 6 am to noon so I was up, showered and out the door very early. I reported to the […]
This morning after my workout, Bill and I hopped in the car and drove back to St. Louis to make a return at IKEA. The highway was wide open and it was sunny, such a treat for our field trip. We talked, listened to music and enjoyed the scenery. After an easy return, we hopped […]
