Teddy and Hazel


My Two for 2022 for the 162nd day of 2022, 6/11/2022, are my Aunt Teddy and Hazel Howkins.  Because my Aunt turned 80 today and Hazel turned 13.  And, although I could not be in California for Teddy's celebration (man am I missing that chocolate cake with peanut butter icing!), I was able to sing on Marco Polo for Teddy to hear, even if belatedly.  And, I WAS able to continue our wonderful Oaklyn Snack Stand tradition with Hazel that has been going on since her 3rd or 4th birthday (we cannot remember when it started).  But we had funnel fries with ice cream and an amazing candle, we sang to Teddy on her birthday and then we had a BONUS celebration with Sylvia for her birthday dinner celebrating her birthday on Thursday!  We still want to cook for her at the Snack Stand, maybe it'll happen.  Birthdays and celebrations and happiness, it was a good day!

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...
