Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Bit of a different view out the window today with the taste of winter that came through yesterday. A good amount of rain that teased at being snow graced the Fort. The groundhog says that spring is coming early this year. I would appreciate it being a wet and rainy one as we could do with some moisture. What did we do this week? For Amanda, the week felt like an eternity especially with a group presentation in her capstone class. Group things are difficult enough and then when a member does not step up to do his part, it can be even worse. Thankfully the professors see the situation considering they have several more...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! Quiet so far this morning with a soft pastel sunrise out my front window. The forecast says it is going to be almost sixty degrees today! Far too warm for January and I hope it doesn't mean a massive snowstorm will be coming over spring break. What were we up to this week? It may sound boring to say more of the same, yet routine can be a good thing. Amanda went on a manufacturing field trip to see how water valves are made. They saw the process for different sizes ranging from two inches in diameter to these giant ones that are forty inches across! I think she is enjoying her semester so far....
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! How is it only the third Sunday of January so far? Somehow my times sense has shifted, and regular everyday time has slowed to a crawl. Not a bad thing when there are so many things I would like to do and busy months ahead. In many ways, we need the slower flow of time here! What did we do this week? Last Sunday was a lifetime ago. Amanda had a good week of classes along with receiving some even better news. She has been accepted to her preferred Master's program. Once she stopped fretting about waiting for a decision, the news showed up, go figure. She also received a scholarship that will help. Summer...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! The world exists in various shades of white through the window so far today. If you think I will be opening the doors to venture out into it over the next couple of days, think again. It is extremely cold and looks to get colder. It is no wonder then that I am slow this morning, as bed was cozy. Also did not help that I slept better after the alarm went off than I did all night. I wonder if the idea of an alarm to go to sleep has ever been studied. What did we do this past week? Classes started for the girls, and it sounds like it is going to be...
Good Morning and Happy Sunday! So far, the new year has started off a bit indulgent as I have stayed in bed late both days of the weekend. Serra tells me it's good because I am still getting over the bit of cold that I had with the holiday. Maybe it's me finally learning to relax. What did we do this first week of 2024? Amanda traveled back to campus in time for the RA refresher training days and before the 'massive' storm that was supposed to hit the area. I'm told she has three inches of snow so far today and that it is not a bad storm at all. In fact, she is out shopping this morning to...
