It’s Friday. This AM I brought the girls to school and thought maybe I’d try curbside dropoff. Like drive-up banking, it’s better in theory than in practice. When the girls realized that I was contemplating NOT walking them in to…
So here’s the Halloween update. When I got back from my trip, A still wanted to be an alligator, though she was starting to mention dinosaur more often. M no longer wanted to be a penguin or bunny, but had…
I returned from my trip to Detroit today. It was very good to see M&A after two days away. After I got home, they came with me to walk Allie. Then they had "dinner" (they aren’t eating much these days),…
