Goodbye January 2021

Yesterday Bill and I both wanted to walk some distance but neither of us wanted to travel a distance to walk.  We decided to got out midmorning when it wasn’t too cold and dark to walk the fingers.  We were partially in when I heard his phone chime. We “pulled over” so he could respond […]

Epiphany!

We celebrated Epiphany with sunshine in these parts, a welcome gift from the heavens.  Sunshine, however, was not the only reason to celebrate.  Monique and I made a decision years ago to have our kiddos exchange their Christmas gifts on the Feast of The Three Kings. It’s a wonderful tradition that alleviates a lot of […]

9th Day of Christmas

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 […]

6th Day of Christmas

This meme is compliments of Bill’s friend, Jen, a PICU specialist who is now seeing adults due to the high numbers of Covid patients in the hospitals. Bill was off work today and in and out.  He had an appointment and then took Walker to get his passport renewed.  Even though we can’t go anywhere […]

5th Day of Christmas

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 […]

4th Day of Christmas

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 […]

3rd Day of Christmas

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 […]

2nd Day of Christmas

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 […]

It’s Christmas!

Merry Christmas from our house to yours! Since we did not go to midnight mass, we all started our day after more sleep.  I got up first, made coffee and started making our traditional steel cut oats with all the fixings. I still had time to shower before Mason padded out. The boys agreed they […]

Advent Day 24

It’s Christmas Eve! We are almost ready for Santa to come.  We had a lovely day.  Bill was scheduled to work at the Covid clinic but because it was not busy, he got to leave early.  That meant he was home in time to go set up the luminaries at church with the Boy Scouts. […]
