One of my favorite things…

"My grandma took me to McDonald s for a smoothie!
I got to hang out with little Miss C on Saturday morning!  We went to mass (she is excellent in church!) the grocery store, the bank, and even to a tag sale!  What a wonderful companion and a real charmer!

But I mostly loved to see how much she loves her daddy!
My creation

I am hoping to …

  • Get lots of flute practice done.
  • Organizing my office and the classroom – since track season is now over, I might actually accomplish these first two goals this week!
  • Get a budget and time table together on our new real estate venture.  We should close this week.  I don’t know what else to say, the realtor swears that this will be the week.  I never thought it would take 5 weeks to close on an in expensive house without financing!

I am looking forward to...

the blog conference on Saturday. Hoping that I make a lot of nice acquaintances and that I feel encouraged about being a Catholic Woman Blogger!

A quote to share…

 A picture to share…

I’m sharing this because I don’t see it too often. Rosie beat her friend O in the 800.  Rosie is a good runner. I think she has it in her to be a phenomenal runner, but O is an outstanding runner, and Rosie rarely outruns her. But she did today, and to do that AND get a PR in her 1600 was a good end to a great day!
