A quiet little corner

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's very quiet morning in my little corner of the Fort. The sky is slightly overcast yet it is warm enough outside to sleep with the windows open. I love being able to snuggle deep into the covers with the cooler temperatures. Spring is here and not, as per usual for a few more weeks. What did we do this week? Amanda has received the go ahead on graduation! Students have to apply to graduate which puts their transcript into a review process to make sure that all of the requirements have been met. She applied back in January and finally received the good news this week. We were concerned that she would have to...

Anticipation

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I have a different window to view the day out of this morning as yesterday's sleepover moved locations in the wee hours. The tree outside seems to be holding its breath in anticipation of spring. Smart tree has been in this location longer than I have and knows to be patient this time of year. What did we do this week? Amanda has been working on her capstone project. One member of her group is great and the two of them have been on the same page the entire semester. They spent part of the week molding ballistic jelly for their prototype. The other two members have not been communicating well or making meetings which...

Suspended reality

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Late start today as my world traveler is actually awake, much to her chagrin, and sharing stories of her trip. The world has melted from our saddest spring storm ever. I know, I know, some areas got a massive amount of snow. My little corner of the world did not as it was too warm to freeze. Friday morning was a slushy affair as there was maybe two inches of snow on top of three inches of water. I had a wonderful lake out front that the geese enjoyed immensely.  What did we do this week? Amanda got back into the swing of things at school. She is in the final home stretch, back to...

Quiet

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Spring time change happening today, and it makes me feel behind even with a do nothing day on tap. Silly I know especially considering I'm on a mini vacation. Mother Nature did remind us of what she has done to past Spring breaks! Thankfully it was only a little storm and it melted off quickly. What did we do last week? Amanda had a quiet one, as she was off from classes for Spring break. She made some favorite foods, hung out online with friends and caught up on sleep. She also had the joy of adulting with filing her taxes for the first time ever. Oh, how I wish I had recorded that facetime...

What's it all aboot?

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Tired this morning after an eventful week. I probably should have turned the alarm off. Thing is, I still woke up as usual. It also lets me watch the heavens shift from a vivid, electric blue to our happy shade of sky. Temperatures have been in the sixties and make me want to break out the shorts! What did we do this week? Amanda finished up her schoolwork and went grocery shopping as she is now on her spring break. The only thing she did yesterday was cook food. Even with the week off there is still a list of life things to take care of. Easy to do, just a long list. Lots of...
