100 Years Ago Today

Today marks a very sad anniversary in the story of Dwight and Mamie Eisenhower. One hundred years ago today--on January 2, 1921--the young couple suffered the terrible loss of their first born child, Doud Dwight "Ikky" Eisenhower, who died of scarlet fever at the age of three.

This frittata was the most delicious thing I've made in awhile! -Lisa

My Grant Shirt

This is the U.S. Grant t-shirt I got for Christmas.

What a Foolish Decision

Milwaukee County Transit is NOT providing free bus rides tonight, apparently to encourage staying at home due to Covid.

Meanwhile, how many drunks will take to the roads because of this? 

I Hear Ya James

Wise words for New Year's Eve 2020 too

 

Hoover was a Good Man

100 years ago today. The $3 million raised that night is equivalent to roughly $40 million in 2020. Click on the photo for the whole story.

Little Sally Walker

 So I guess Iggy Azalea released a song called “little sally walker” last year...I was like, hmmm that’s a game we used to play as kids....

Yep, it’s the same song. Lol.

You guys remember playing this right?

We so damn old our old games are being made into new rap songs. How tf that happen?! - Lisa

WW84

After our traditional Christmas pancake breakfast (this year held at 4pm lol) I kept a long held promise to LuLu and took her to see WW84 on its opening day.  It was not awful,  but imo its script needed a lot of work.  Still,  it was fun to venture to a theater for only the second time since Covid, and a joy to accompany Lulu.

Merry Christmas

Great Job Son!

Yesterday, completely on his own initiative, Smiley  prepared a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner of ham, potatoes, stuffing, mac n cheese, roasted mozzarella brussel sprouts, asparagus, biscuits, and two, count 'em, TWO homemade apple pies.

 

Smiley is fifteen.  

At 15 I couldn't boil water.

What a Year. What a Miserable Year

Ugh

 Yep, it’s that time of the season, 10 days prior when things start to get real on what’s still left to fund.

Most of my texts this morning sound something like: “we aren’t exchanging, don’t surprise me”, “you know that thing we discussed in Nov, yeah that ain’t happening”

Ahhhhh, the pressures, lol...very much why this is my least favorite holiday.

It’s very easy to forget the reason for the season. I need to find an Angel tree from the Salvation Army or church...does anyone have something they are doing they need help with?

I need to get my mind right...
