one hundred and TWO!


One of the advantages of the fact that Sarah and I have both worked in Higher Education since 2005 (I longer, but Sarah was working in the hospital before that) is that we almost always have the days off between Christmas and New Years.  Penn calls is our "Special Winter Holiday."  And the 364th day of 2022 was special indeed.  We drove, on 12/30/2022, to Richland, PA.  Sarah's first home town (for six weeks) and the home of Sara Weaver, Sarah's maternal grandmother and Alexa and Anna's GREAT grandma!  And my Two for 2022 for the 2nd to last day of 2022 is one hundred and TWO!  Because that is how old GG Weaver is.  102!!!  And she is still living in her own home, the home she has lived in since 1952 (yes, SEVENTY years).  We are so blessed to have four (and now, with Rocco, FIVE) generations together on the Weaver side of the family.  As this turbulent year comes to an end, it was a double blessing to visit GG today and here's to many more visits!

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...
