A Quick Check-In

                                                                                                                                               June 19, 2025

Today I chose to take a nap instead of writing. We're really enjoying our time with our guests, Elizabeth and Dave, so this week my priority is simply to be present and make the most of their visit.

Tonight, while Joe was at work, they took me out to dinner. We went for burgers at the Dairy Queen just half a mile from our place. Last night, I cooked bluegill that my brothers had left for me. Tomorrow and Saturday, Elizabeth will be grilling steaks that my brother Jeff brought along on their visit earlier this month.

Tomorrow’s plan is to head to French Regional Park, then in the afternoon, we’ll watch Charlotte perform in a theater production. After the show, we’ll stop by Megan’s so Elizabeth and Dave can meet our grandchildren—and so Elizabeth can hold Oliver.

On Saturday, we’re tentatively thinking about visiting the Minnesota Sculpture Garden or maybe Como Park & Zoo, which also has a conservatory and both tropical and Japanese gardens.

It’ll be a full couple of days, but I’ll try to check in.
