Thankful, again

Saturday was frightening. A black SUV slammed into my Taurus. It was no competition...in a flash my tires were bent, water was pouring from under my car and my two little grandsons and I sat stunned. I won't go into details here....and some of you have already seen the pictures...so all I ask is prayer that everything goes the way it should go...and I get another good car.

Please join me in thanking God for taking care of us. I can't tell Him thank you enough.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. (those of you on Facebook will see this twice, sorry, but wanted to be sure all the family saw it).

Today was a very good day for me (the 26th). All of my daughters, sons in law and grandchildren and husband were together at one time for dinner, thanks to a surprise visit from the three in Florida!!!!!
I bought a really cute skirt today.
And I spent the day with my very best friend in the whole wide world...I can hear those ocean waves!

Thank you, God, for this day. And please let the weekend move slowly...

Can't Wait!!

I am putting an old picture back on my blog, but one that I LOVE. I took this picture myself (although I am not a good photographer) when I visited Ireland two summers ago. We are going BACK this summer and I am beside myself with joy! My sweet husband needs to see his family and I am happy to oblige him. I never thought I would love it as much as I do. I always wanted to go to Ireland for as far back as I can remember...but when I went there...there are few words to describe the awesome beauty. I have never seen anything like it. Adding to that the warmth of a new family, it has everything. I hope one day we will be able to go there to spend the entire summer (or what little of it the Board of Education will be giving me by then....)

So, one thing I am thankful for this year? FAMILY and the ability to visit ALL of them.

Fun, fun

Having so much fun meeting new people! That has always been difficult for me in the past, but having quite a blast with it lately. Thanks y'all!

crazy days

The last few days of school have been confusing, crazy and maddening. Something happened that has never happened before and I was incensed. I was a good girl, so to speak, and walked away from the confrontation. I didn't want to. I wanted to snap, slap, something...but the icing on the cake was my principal stood up for me. She took care of "someone I care about". That made the entire thing so much easier. I feel better, I feel vindicated. I can stop obsessing. NOW if I can just get the kids to pass the &$#($*#&@)(****&&&@!@ EOCT!!!!!
