Palm Sunday and Pancakes

 

To cap off a great weekend (Friday = Phillies Opening Day and Saturday = LL Opening Day), the 100th day of 2022 was 100% awesome.  Because 4/10/2022 is Palm Sunday and that means my Two for 2022 today is Palm Sunday and Pancakes.  We observed all of the Palm Sunday traditions this morning at church online.  The stories of the Triumphant Welcome with the foreshadowing of what is to come.  The waving of the palms, cloaks, and, for some, whatever they had to wave, and the singing of The Palms.  But the day started off even better at the first in person Fire Dept. Pancake Breakfast since 2019!  I was even good and only ate one pancake (for me, it was Palm Sunday and Pancake) and, thus, kept my sugars in range!  But, even better than the food (and the food was as good as it always is!) is the community feeling you get in this event.  Between the Snack Stand and the Fire Hall this weekend, my Oaklyn Community feelings are as strong as ever and these are great feelings to finally have again.

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...
