Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I am moving a little slower today as I rested longer than usual, watching the skies change from a soft lavender pink to our bright Colorado blue. It is good to see a color other than gre even with the storm expected on Wednesday. What have we been up to this week? As usual, Serra had a full week with jazz and concert band rehearsals. We got in a bit more driving, only three more dark hours to go before she can take her now scheduled driver's test. More of her favorite noodles arrived, and she scored 100% on her AP Psychology neurobiology unit. Her confidence just keeps growing. Amanda is taking care of the...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It is grey and chilly in my little corner of the Fort today. I can see a bit of sunshine peeking over one of the buildings to the east outside of my window. Hopefully it will make for a brighter day. What did we do this week? It was a bumpy start for Serra with getting rid of that head cold she caught the previous Friday. She stayed home a couple of extra days to clear the cough out and catch up on homework. The extra time also gave her some practice for her French presentation that she nailed on Friday. Only a few more night driving hours to complete before she can go in...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The sun is slowly making its way over the horizon and shedding a muted light on the world. My body has decided that it wants to keep a consistent sleep schedule which means I was awake at five am. A mixed blessing as I see it as it is better for me physically and mentally, but that sometimes I miss sleeping in! What did we do this week? We celebrated a birthday! Serra turned seventeen at the end of January. Dinner at her favorite restaurant, some clothes, spices, and new puzzle cubes to tackle, made for a good day. School was busy with two exams and jazz rehearsals. Friday afternoon caught her off guard as...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! I think the sun has come up however the world looks very white outside. A fresh unexpected layer of snow arrived during the evening and sky matches. Brings to mind the song "A Whiter Shade of Pale". What did we do this week? Serra finally had a full week of school. Between holidays and snow days it took getting to the third week for it to happen. She is loving her AP Psychology course and soaking it up like a sponge. We got in another dark driving session and have only fifteen hours to go. Her confidence behind the wheel has been growing, which is great. Amanda had a few things to do schoolwise this...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It is quiet and cold in my little corner of the Fort. I imagine many people are not awake before seven on a Sunday. I was awake even earlier but sometimes it's cozy to relax before getting out of bed. What did we do this week? It turned into a bit of an odd one. Serra didn't have school with the holiday on Monday and I didn't know that big girl jobs also get some of the unexpected ones as well. Monday turned into a wonderful treat of playing games and having a great time. Okay, the week starts on Tuesday then. Noon that day, a snow day got called for Wednesday which Serra didn't...
