Have a Great Week!!

Good morning, friends!!  Pour yourself a cup of your favorite beverage, and pull up a chair.  Let's catch up on the goings on in our lives.


I'm not an early morning person, especially on Mondays.  However this Monday, I'm up early with DH, who starts a new job in Boston today.  After 18+ years at the same firm, he's taking a leap to another firm that offers him greater opportunities.  There will be some growing pains with the commute- - 5 miles vs 25 miles- - and driving right into the city.  He'll leave home super early, and return after 7:00.  But hey, I hear that absence makes the heart grow fonder!!

What's new with you?

Competition

Q had a great idea for a competition: handwriting! Each of you sends me this text - The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, both in cursive and print. 

I'll organise the competition in a post early next week, after I recover from jetlag. I'm going to Miami tomorrow, arriving Saturday. 

We'll have fun!
