This week we're celebrating....

As some of you know, on Friday's we think of things to celebrate and share them with you. Thank you to VikLit for starting this group. Please stop by www.VikLit.blogspot.com to find out what other people are happy about.
This week we're cheering about:

  • My sister, brother-in-law, and Mom have arrived safely in their new homes. Our mom is all settled and my sister and brother-in-law are still working on unpacking. They've met some nice neighbors and are adjusting to the higher elevations there. I miss them lots, but we can't celebrate that.
  • Our son, Brendan is going on a business trip tomorrow. He's excited about visiting Boston.
  • Brendan took a computer certification test that was a last minute thing. He got 100%, even though there was only one hour to study! We're so proud of him.
  • Our lawn mower, Harrison John Deere, is learning to behave better. Now he stops without crashing into things, thanks to my husband's mechanical talents.
  • Hopefully, I finished editing our new story. We'll see if the members of the critique group agree when I submit it later this month.
    Ethan Bortnick is an amazing talent, with a wonderful generous, spirit. He believes anything is possible. Stop by my website and find out why.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.

    1. Thank you, Stephanie, we name all of our vehicles. We named our first minivan Vincent Van Go. Now we have a blue Saturn called Sapphire (Saffie for short) and a Subaru named Carl after the USS Carl Vinson. Thanks for commenting and happy weekend.

  10. It sounds as though your family as a whole is something to celebrate (even through the tears brought by distance). Your son must make you very proud. I hope the ache fades and the move was for the very bests.

  11. Thank you, Diana, it is not an easy thing to adjust to having some of my family far away, but it they're happy, that's most important. We are very proud of both of our sons and blessed to be their parents. Thank you for visiting and for your kind comments.
