Hi, I’m Jamie Thingelstad, and this is the Weekly Thing. Isn’t that witty? I send this weekly, and it is full of various things. What would I call it if my last name didn’t start with thing? I have no idea!
Perhaps the “truest” indicator of where we are as the pandemic recedes in Minnesota is our calendar. If so, this last week is the first time we’ve had plans every evening of the week. It seemed like “wow, so much stuff!”
The school year wrapped up this week, which was part of those plans. I kept thinking back to being a kid and how incredibly awesome it was when summer arrived and you had this huge swath of time with friends, outside, and uninterrupted fun. Our kids were very excited to count the days down. Tammy and I also passed the milestone of being done with elementary schools. Time keeps on slipping slipping, slipping… into the future… as the song goes…
