Oaklyn and the Easter Bunny

 


It was April 2020 and the Pandemic was getting everyone down (little did we know how much more we had in store for us).  Easter came, and nobody could really leave their houses.  So my friend Nancy and I had the idea to try to bring a smile to people's faces by driving the Easter Bunny around Oaklyn.  And people seemed to like it a lot and a tradition was born.  On 4/16/2022 (now the Saturday before Easter since so many people are now able to travel on Easter), we took the Easter Bunny (with a Police Escort thanks to the fine people of the OPD) around town.  My Two for 2022 for the 106th day of 2022 is Oaklyn and the Easter Bunny.  It was great seeing the smiles and the waves (and I think the adults were happier to see him than the kids!)  We finally got the soundtrack and speaker correctly calibrated.  And we gave out lollipops today, and I want to go even bigger with the candy next year.  I love Easter and I love my little town!

Facebook and Memories

  I know a lot of people who have given up on Social Media.  And, yes, I concur that the FB business model is filled with issues and shadiness.  But, on a rough day at work on 4/20/2022, I looked at my FB feed and a memory came up that made me beam with joy.  You all probably can see the memory below, on the 110th day of 2022, of when Alexa hit two homeruns in a softball game and Sarah got them both on video and Collingswood won 13-7.  Well, it was not a lot, but it got me through today with a smile on my face.  So I have thanks for my two for 2022 for tonight, Facebook and Memories.  Days like today are what keep me on the platform (well that and my need for this nightly reflection!)  Good Night all and may your memories be happy!

UD and Family Weekend

Image
What a day the 274th day of 2022 has been.  Started off, where Anna was LAST year at the PTA Mum Sale for Collingswood High School.  A cold and wet sale that, although it did not sell as many we had hope we would, but the teamwork, camaraderie, and good humor amongst the myriad of volunteers made the time go fast (except for 7-9AM :-) ).  THEN, it was on to where Anna is now, and the Two for 2022 for 10/1/2022: UD and Family Weekend!  The Delaware Football Team won and is 5-0.  We got to see Kassidy and the Presses, I finally got to see Anna's dorm room (it looks really nice!), meet Anna's roommates, and check out the campus when students are actually present.  And we capped off the evening with some shopping, and dinner, at the Christiana Mall.  Anna seems to be really enjoying her time at UD and I am proud of her for her hard work and pursual of a career in K-6 education.  It was also really neat to see Family Weekend from another side, at a dif...
