Thanksgiving 2023
It was a different Thanksgiving for us. V had some surgery done on her ankle the day before. It was a relatively minor operation, but it was enough to keep us home for the holiday. To be honest, I think we were all okay with that, just being so tired from how hectic life has been lately, but of course we missed seeing our parents and sibling's families too.
The boot:
I am thankful to have these three people to make a home with.

Grand Marais (and a little Duluth)
It has become a new-ish traditional for me and R to get away for a couple of nights over Veteran's Day weekend. This year we went up the North Shore, stopping in Duluth along the way for a walk and some supplies (I recommend Vikre's whiskey).

Junie B. Jones Jr.
Wow, what a fun musical that was! In some ways this was a more impressive production than even Frozen Jr. The kids worked so hard! Their singing and dancing were amazing. Veronica played the part of a first grader named Bobby Jean Piper. One highlight was when she had to hop up on a table and sing/dance a little solo from there (I was nervous for her each of the four times I saw the play). I wish there was a recording and/or stills from it available; I believe they were captured, but Ashland doesn't yet have the rights to sell them to parents. If that ever changes, I will be sure to post!
