First - life is changing in so many positive ways of late.
DD has committed to a new hockey team and is happy as a clam about it. Lots of issues with her old league and the new home away from home is 8 minutes from the house. The savings in gas and time are amazing. And she loves her new coach and she knows many of the girls already.
And her lacrosse season has started and she's happy and ready for that.
DS has heard in the affirmative from three of his four colleges. Of course, he hasn't heard from his first choice, but his GPA and SATs are above their averages, so, he should get in.
And in 10 days, he and DH are headed to Rochester NY to the USA Hockey Midget Major Tier II Nationals.
Repairs to our rental property are going well. It will be another two weeks, but that
So - despite other concerns, life is good...
I've read a few good books of late.
"Bone Crossed" (a Mercy Thompson book - by Patricia Briggs) - another really good book in the series. I also read her "Cry Wolf" which I didn't like as much. "Dragon Keeper" (Robin Hobb) I don't think Hobb could write a bad book.
"The Betrayal of the Blood Lily" (Lauren Willig) - a new favorite series. Love her writing, love the plots with in plots...
Current read is "The Adamantine Palace" (Stephen Deas) A first novel and so far so good
I have been plugging away on those baby dragons, doing some beading and other crafty things. One thing I really want to do is find one area in the house, other than the basement (unfinished) to store 90% of my needlework supplies, my beading stuff, my fabric stash and other assorted craft stuff.
Mind you, if DS was really out of the house, I'd have his room. Which isn't happening for a few years.
So - off to a hockey banquet in a few hours....I should go empty the dishwasher and do another load of laundry, but maybe I'll go stitch until it's time to wake every one up...
