Relief

I feel much better now. The retreat for my students making confirmation, went off without a hitch today.
We had a great reatreat, lead by a wonderfully young Polish priest.  He was very inspiring, to me and to the young men.   We actually did 2 very fun activities w/ the confirmandi, that I was happy to put in my file to use again. If you ever need confirmation retreat ideas.. just ask.

When I got home I took a very short nap. We then took my grandmother out to dinner. She just returned after being gone to Florida for the last 2 months. It was her first time heading South for the winter. She is convinced that is why we had a mild winter. Anyways it was fun to take her out, and hear all her stories. She is also a wealth of knowledge & a very good listener.

Hardwook pays off, we got great news from the accountant!!.. We never get good news, but this year !!!Maybe a vacation is in our future !!

I also convinced my hubs to pick a end table & a chair out of the trash last week. He doesn't like picking, but when we got home & got to see it in daylight, he was shocked in how nice the pieces were.   Hopefully this week, I can work on refinishing the table top. The chair is in good shape, I just want to recover the fabric on the chair, so  that may take a while. Probably a later summer project. B4&After pictures when it's done...
