The End of the school year ...
is rapidly approaching! Once Memorial Day arrives, the end of the school year is right around the corner. I got word that Billy needs to have his senior portrait taken this summer. Senior portrait? Yikes!
TB heard from Michele. She'd been hoping to come for a visit in June but sadly that's not going to work out. 
On Sunday, we are going up to LI for my niece's first holy communion. Nicole is 8, the youngest of my nieces and nephews. She has a sweet little face. I don't know much about her. TB and I went looking in a Christian bookstore for something nice. I didn't want to buy a crucifix or a Bible because I'm sure lots of other people will give her those. We found a nice book with a Christian theme and we threw in a little teddy bear for good measure.
TB had the car tuned up and serviced yesterday so we are ready to go up to LI.
I am a little anxious about seeing Nicole and her family but not in a positive way. I've gotten so much bigger than I was when I last saw them.
TB says that they love me and so it doesn't matter, but it does.
And then Memorial Day is not this weekend, but the one after next!
What's the most memorable gift you ever received? Why?
There are too many to choose just one. The most recent: Kristin gave me a Precious Ornaments figurine for Mother’s Day. Sometime in April, we’d gone window shopping at the mall and stopped in at a Hallmark store. I’ve always loved the Precious Moments figurines and was admiring the ones for Mother’s Day. Kristin moved beside me and I pointed them out to her, hinting one of them would make a great joint Mother’s Day present. They are usually over $20 and I was half kidding because at that time, only Billy had income coming in.
It turns out that Billy had to hire Kristin to take care of the dog on the days he worked. He agreed to give her $10 a week. Well, Kristin waited impatiently for the check to come and be cashed. It was after Mother’s Day. TB told me that Kristin wanted him to take her to the mall and buy a gift for me. I thought it was really sweet.
I was so moved when I opened the box. It was one of the figurines I’d admired! I’d forgotten about it but Kristin hadn’t.
Do you daydream? If so, what about?
Most of the time I “veg” meaning I just relax and stare off into space. I don’t have any organized thinking going on, I’m just enjoying the birds or the view or a breeze. When I daydream, it’s usually about vacations. Heh.
Wednesday Whatevers
1. Would you want an arranged marriage or choose your own? Why?
Let me choose my own! This way if it’s a mistake I have no one to blame but myself
2. What would you sacrifice for someone else?
It depends on who it is. If if’s not TB or one of the kids or Little T, forget it.
3. Do you think God has a gender? If so, what is it?
Well … I would like to believe that God is both but then the Bible says that man was made in God's image. It's interpreted to mean man the male and not man the human species. So. But one day I'll find out!
