Andrew is in 6th grade, and he just earned a spot in his middle school's top Honor Band for next year. We are so proud of him. The top band is made up of mostly 8th graders, so it's a big deal for him since he is younger. I was heavily involved in music in my younger years, I even initially majored in music in college before switching to accounting, so it really makes me happy to see him enjoying band so much.

 

Baseball season (rec league) is wrapping up right now, and then next year he'll be school athletics for the first time. (The schools here don't offer athletics until 7th grade.) He is going to play football, basketball, and run track. 

 

My baby will be 13 in two weeks!

 

 

 

 

Congratulations. It's very impressive to play with the big kids!

(I almost didn't recognize him without the bowtie!)

Unbelievably, tomorrow will be one year since my daughter lost her husband.  We are going to Mass at 9:00 and then we will take them out for breakfast.  Hopefully, things will get better for the three of them. 

I remember this. I can't believe it's been a year. Such a sad story. I pray for continued healing in your hearts.

Finally finished a project that has seemed to go on forever.  Now I can work on some sweaters I have been wanting to start.

 

This is amazing.

I see some weaving looms in the background. You are a very talented fiber artist!

Lizzy and Charlie getting some sun and wishing everyone a great day!

 

I'm 20 pages behind, but I just want you to know that I am so happy that you brought both of these precious pups home.

Congratulations. Beautiful picture.

Time does fly by fast, doesn't it?

After, I do like the added 50 bottle wine cooler. Cabinets have pull out drawers etc 

 

This is absolutely lovely. I love the white tops,  gray cupboards and black accents. It’s all so sophisticated.

Thank you.

Pauline quickly put something together while we were watching our king's coronation and we all loved the sausages,fried eggs,bacon and beans.

 

Everything tastes better on beautiful dinnerware!

Watching the build-up to the coronation. It's almost 3 AM here...don't know how long I'll be able to keep an eye open.

@aussielozzie18 By any chance do you work for the Australian Chamber of Commerce or a travel promotion site? 😹😹. If not, you should! 

Your photos are beautiful, and makes me want to come back for another visit.

Me too! We were there for 4 days before a cruise and never saw any of this stuff.

If only that flight from the US wasn't eternal....

I think they are blue corn tortillas.

And now for something lighter.  Found this was still on the ironing board.  Anyone know how to iron one?  Asking for a friend. 
 

I don't think they need ironing. Just towel dry, fluff and go. I'd check the label tho to be sure. Some can be fussy.

Dani, this one is for you. Guess what we did today. 
 

Did Owen eat it ALL?

Well, I finally got through 100+pages! I fell so far behind during the Bella cruise (which we turned into a b2b) I didn't think I'd ever see the end. 

As I read through your posts, thoughts and prayers over the last few weeks I laughed out loud at some of the antics some of you went through, cried through your anguish in situations beyond your control, and rejoiced in the pride everyone showed through their family, pets, gardens and life.

Thank you, Dani, for creating such a wonderful venue to share our lives.

I've got a lot of catching up to do. We spent the next week on board so I'm way behind.

Thanks to everyone who made this group cruise possible, and a LOT of fun.

We hope to go on Bella 2 so I can chat with those I didn't get to this time.

I don't see any toes. 🧐

I don't have any worth showing.

We made it. The plane had to go through de-icing and left a bit late, it was a bit bumpy and landed just a bit behind schedule.

Split a sandwich and salad from Publix, got wine from Total Wine and now have scored a cabana in the shade pool side. (Toes shot!)
