Thanks hon, proper made my morning too.

Back from work, what a super sweet short shift (3 hours). I felt as if I'd just gone in to do my shopping or something. I can't believe my usual shift used to be 3.5 hours...

My nephew, the first louie in the USMC, was home briefly, so they had a small family party for him at brother and sis-in-law's home.

I got to swim and hang out with not only the young adult faction of my nieces and nephews, but also with the younger faction of my nieces. Swimming was especially fun.

I'm really proud of all of them. My just turned 9 year old niece and I had a great time in the pool. And my almost 3 year old great-niece and I have totally bonded. What's better than a 3 year old telling you she loves you? Not much. And they all told me that, ages irrelevant.

I miss my mom, because she would have loved today, but I'm so thankful my dad was there and enjoying the family he helped create. And that ain't all he creates...we were surrounded by woodwork he's done. He's so awesome.

I'm a lucky girl. Plus, they're all so funny. I listened to the young adult faction and laughed so much...and I used the line about how I could be a young person were it not for my age. These are memories I will keep close to my heart.

Yeah, I'm a lucky girl.

Sounds like a perfect day IM.

I am happy about mav buying himself a car today. He saved hard. $4k in a little over a year. Anyway, i am very proud of him.

Sounds awesome Infi.

Life is all about paying attention as moments like that are happening and making sure you enjoy them. Moments like that aren't exactly rare, but they happen infrequently enough that it's good to be mindful when they do.

I hope he has more luck with his than Aden did. The clutch failed, then a week after that was repaired he crashed it. He's decided not to fix it. just trade it in when he's got some dosh together. It still runs, so he might get something for it.

it's a shame that a boy's first car(s) is(are) doomed to be sacrificed.
