Cars and Repairs

 


So as we hurdle towards Fall 2022 and the start of two years of two kids in college, you can imagine my happiness to send the last car payment off for the girls' car and know that Sarah's car will be paid off in a few months.  My car, the family van, has been paid off for a while and, on the 202nd day of 2022, I took it into the shop for a scheduled oil change.  Now, we must cue my Two for 2022 for 7/21/2022: Cars and Repairs.  So I DID ask them to look at the driver's side rear sliding door (the automatic cable snapped and I do NOT want to go to the dealer), but no, instead they inspected and found my front brakes are shot.  OF COURSE they are.  Sigh.  So cars and repairs are what we will deal with this month and, well, at least the car PAYMENTS will end soon!

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...
