My dad and I went down to Kansas City for some, what we hoped to be, warm April baseball. Mother Nature had different ideas and we had 30-degree baseball. But we had baseball! Not pictured is the fact that my dad was super food-poisoned for most of the long weekend. He enjoys telling the story.

We had just gotten married and strangely decided to catch a sunrise. I remember we rented a Grand Am and thought it was the fanciest car we’d ever seen. #extrafancy

Oh the lakes we have seen.

In our younger days we would visit large cities. Sometimes we’d have family there to show us around. It was lovely. #jessespregnant

One time long ago we even tried to camp. I don’t know if I’d choose that over quarantine.

Badlands ‘99. Back when we used to drive around from place to place.

About 20 years ago we went on a trip. That was nice. I enjoyed that.

It paid off keeping a too-large container of yeast in the fridge for a couple years.

Visited the school.

A friend texted me last weekend mentioning his temptation to go to his home office and do some more work. He said he needed some work-from-home tips. I figured with 13 years of working from home under my belt, it’d probably be a good idea to write down some of my own experience and suggestions. Click through to my [old] blog if you’d like to read them. And I hope you’™re well!

Happy birthday, Jesse! I wrote all the mushy, personal stuff in the card I gave you. I think this is a nice picture as long as people don’t notice my sweaty hat.

Did you know cranberry sauce is really easy…and really tasty?

Mondays.

Other side of the sunset at soccer. Sadly the game was called shortly after this due to lightning.

Trash can.

Humid fall soccer.

Fish.

Jesse’s taking me to a concert for which I bought tickets for a year ago for my birthday. She can almost pronounce his name and might know the band he once led. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE FUN!!

Let’s do this.

Meaningful baseball on August is a gift, but this is about the most exciting thing we’ve seen so far in the 3 games in a row that we’ve attended.

Yep.
