Something green and sparkly caught my eye as I scrolled up from the last post of yesterday's thread!!!!

Congrats to Ava!! I am so happy for her! Give her a big hug from me!! Did anyone in the family know it was happening that night or did you all think you were just together for the golf dinner? The ring is beautiful and the photo of your hands is so very special ♥
Isn't it refreshing to open the thread to something other than me complaining about the cold or grocery shopping?

It is cold here again but not as bad as it was and I don't have to worry about grocery shopping until next week so you would have been spared that today at least. Even so, it's a heck of a lot nicer to start out with happy news.
I had a good day yesterday myself. No school buses on the road when I went to get my groceries. No swords or axes falling on my toes when I cleaned. Although I did have a close call-- I bumped my hand into one of the swords that the skeleton pirate was holding. It wasn't there the last time I cleaned and when I turned a bit, I didn't realize it was at hand-level. I *finally* got used to seeing the pirate skeleton out of the corner of my eye and how he has a new sword I need to get used to. Hmmmph! (For the newer peeps, my friend collects weapons and skeletons and other oddities. He has a pirate skeleton that sits at the breakfast bar so when I clean the kitchen, I'd see him out of the corner of my eye and wonder who is the house with me. I have accidentally bumped into a sword, knife, or an ax, knocked them off the wall, and had some close calls with my feet. LOL)
All three of the monarch caterpillars are accounted for and were busy munching on the leaves yesterday. My neighbors must think I am bonkers as I stare at the milkweed plants up close and from all angles. Had a good, brisk walk with my friend who caught me up on her end of wedding planning. Her DD (officiant) is flying in next Thursday with her boyfriend and I am so excited to meet him! He is coming to the rehearsal so I can give the Mama Chris stamp of approval. That's what she called me from the beginning, Mama Chris. ♥
Today is some house cleaning and it's finally time to wash the wine glasses. I worked a little more on lesson plans yesterday and hope to finish another 1-2 today. Scrapping would be awesome if I could squeeze that in too. Yardwork... that would also be nice.
What good stuff do you have going on? Whatever it is, make it *great!*
