This is a busy week for us. We are both in book clubs that discuss a book a month and both of them are meeting this week. Her book is "Behold the Dreamers!" and mine is "Cat's Cradle". Last night, we were taken to dinner for Mother's Day.
We have window washers coming to do our windows and I have teeth cleaning. We are having a dinner at a friend's house and we are attending a reunion of our ski club. These more unusual events are in addition to several weekly items like church and lunch out. When we get busier than usual, I remember a colleague comparing a semester in London with life in this small city of 24,000. London is a big city with much history and at least 144 museums. (Lynn taught a course there about the museums.) But John found that his home phone ringing off the wall in Stevens Point compared to many quiet times in London.
Between spring busting out and people chafing and resisting further limits from covid, there are more and more activities, offers, invitations and possibilities, sometimes a bit too many. I have been thinking of an online organization that will accept a small fee to have their accomplished event attenders go to the overflow that a single couple can't quite manage.
