Mike and Sylvia

 


I am not gonna lie, I had a bad day at work on the 140th day of 2022.  Yes, I was sad and frustrated as the workday of 5/20/2022 came to an end BUT WAIT!  Suddenly I was thrust into a good mood!  Why??, you ask.  Well, because of the two for 2022 for tonight.  Mike and Sylvia.  Sylvia and Mike.  Really four, because it's Sylvia and Mike and Michael and Vivi (their kids!)  And, tonight, we got to all go out and dine together.  And, frankly, it does not matter how tough a day has been, when we're with Sylvia and Mike and family, we're in a good mood.  SO, I go to bed, exhausted but thankful.  Thankful for good friends who have been with us since before we were even married.  Who were with us as we raised our young kids and now we can be with them as they raise theirs.  We were in need of a mood change last night and our friends provided a HUGE pick me up.  Hope we can do the same for them as well!

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...
