12 DAYS!!!!!!!!

Tomorrow Bruce turns 18 - then Thursday is his graduation from High School... he was just over here today, and we discussed just how close he came to not having a graduation - but he's graduating... I'm very proud of him - he really pulled himself up these last few weeks. He'll be officially an adult too, and he's moving out of his mother's house the day after graduation... I think they're all ready - at least, I hope they are.

Last week I picked up a new skill - basket weaving;


It's something Deb decided she wanted to try, so she signed us both up for a series of classes. One series = four baskets, so we have three more to make... it's supposed to be every week, depending on our instructor's schedule. As for me, I really enjoy it - I'm so proud that I was able to actually MAKE this basket - yes, it took around six hours, but look at it! Job well done I'd have to say. :-) By the way, it's about 11 inches tall (including handle), and nine inches across... so it's a pretty decent size too. It's called a Market Basket. Our next basket is an Apple Basket, and I've seen it... there are more series of classes, but I'm not sure right now if we're signing up for them - I would like to, but we'll have to wait and see...

One more thing I've done this week - and it was definitely a labor of love... I built a website dedicated to the people closest to me in this world... I'll be working on it off and on in the future - but the gist of it is already online. You can check it out HERE.

My phone has been turned off again, and when I can, I am getting a new phone with a new provider - it will be cheaper, and it will be unlimited, unlimited, unlimited - you can't beat that. :-)

ONLY 12 MORE DAYS TILL SATELLITE!!!!!!!!!!!
