Kat - I hope they're having fun in the snow - I bet Morgan likes it!

Another good day - we went yard saling all morning, got some bargains and spoilt Lewis well and truly. We're out to TRUBRIT's for a cookout tonight.

jacqui, enjoy them while they are there. That's great they can come across to see you!

I was happy to get a phone call form my daughter and my grandson, Morgan, who are travelling in Wyoming this weekend. They were in a spot with no cellphone service, so I hadn't actually heard from them since they went up there. They hit snow all of the way up. I was very happy and relieved to hear from them!

I spent the day with my daughter and grandson, over on a short visit from the UK. My wonderful husband cooked dinner for all of us and I sat and watched Superman Returns with Lewis until he went to sleep.

A very good day.

A really good day.

This morning I managed buy my wife a cheap car at the car auctions.

This afternoon my cardiologist discharged me and said my condition was as stable as he could achieve.

But what has given me most joy has been a series of PMs from Ard Mhacha - we've been discussing Patrick Kavanagh. I have got really interested in On Raglan Road after hearing a Pete Rowan version of the song on Ard's website.

Its really opened up a song   for me that I've never liked much previously - having heard all the versions that people regularly go doolally about (Luke Kelly, Ronnie Drew, etc). I'm just loving my life working on this great song.

I wish you all such good days

I've been homeschooling my stepson through high school, and we have two weeks left. He had a lot of learning and social problems coming out of eighth grade, so we decided on homeschooling. He has blossomed in the last four years, and now he's eager to start college and I think he's ready for it. And today he's off on a flying lesson.
I'm proud of him (and of his mother).

I put in a shift at out local art association gallery today. Right now one section of the gallery is full of art from all the high schools in the county. A lot of these young people are doing excellent work; not "good for their age", just excellent, no qualifiers. We also had a pretty good turn out of appreciative viewers.

Monday was Harry's birthday. We had a party at Nana's and he had a fabulous time! Oh my, how time does fly. He's walking and 'chatering', all grown up.

Yesterday we had our scan and saw the twins on the screen....truly amazing, we both had a little cry (but that's ok!) They are growing well and are both healthy. We found out what they are too so we can start thinking about names!

A friend is popping over for a cuppa this afternoon and a good catch up natter. And my brother is visiting this weekend as he has got a couple of days leave!!

Well it was yesterday actually. We were passing a local 'Hongkong Express' and there was a knock on the window, I turned round to see a friend I hadn't seen in a very long time. We went in sat down and had a long chat (and a beef chow mein!) Such a nice suprise.

And the day before - I called into Carphone Warehouse because to get a new card holder for my phone as I had lost the original and the chap in the shop said, 'no no there's no charge, we have loads of them'   

Faith slowly being restored.

Not today but yesterday - lunch with a dear friend whom I've not seen for months - we used to meet up almost weekly, but circumstances have prevented our getting together since June... I'm now wandering round with a stupid grin on my face : )

And I didn't have to pay for lunch this time!

The anticipation of company from Vermont for the weekend. 2 of my best girlfriends are coming for a weekend of shopping and hanging out. We're going to check out some local music tomorrow night and just have a great time, as we always do when they're in town.

Tomorrow I'll be happy because the day they arrive has finally....arrived. :-)

Lovely mushroom soup is bubbling away on the stove, after a chilly, damp day of apple picking for our "new" old cider press. The seckel pears are ready to pick, as are the Airie (aka Hidden Rose) apples. The old dead wood furnace has been dismantled and hauled away for recycling, and the good sturdy Tempwood stove put in its place. Fresh eggs from our bantams are ready for breakfast tomorrow, and we have maple syrup to touch up a cuppa tea.

These are a few of my favorite things...

I had a really good fundraising meeting with one of my choir members today and she likes my hand made cards! Hopefully this means more money for Cancer Research UK/Breast Aware because she is a lady of taste, so if she likes them, they'll probably sell well!

Plus I made French Onion soup that turned out better than I expected.

I was feeling really down yesterday after being told I need crutches for walking for 6 weeks when originally told just a couple of days, although only need them when walking about a lot, and not around the house. Feel a little better today even after being stuck in traffic, not moving, for over an hour! Still as I feel a lot happier this evening I thought it deserved going on here ;-)
