That is some of the best news ever!  :) Yay!

Mine is feeling a lot better - one more sports massage tomorrow for mildly angry shoulder, on iron tablets to kick fatigue and Mr MLG is over crazy study / work period. Let the good times roll.....

Much, much joy, even if I am late to say it!

Mine: We bought Colts preseason tickets. I get that those games are just friendlies, and don't count for the season. However, it is a Colts game, and two tickets cost a total of $12!

ANDY M-FIN' MURRAY!!  ;D ;D

It is always funny listening to hubby give updates, and how it changes from Britain's Andy Murray to Scotland's Andy Murray and back, depending on how things are going for him.  ;D

Mine: A simple breakfast of two pieces of toast and coffee. One piece of toast has Amish made apple butter on it. The other has blackberry jam made by the Trappist monks of the St. Meinrad Archabbey. We also had a loaf of zucchini bread made in the Abbey bakery, but that didn't last long.

Today we were sorting through boxes of things I had stored in mom's basement, to either ship to the UK while we were there, or to have 'if' we moved back.. which as you all know, we did. I found grandma's Pyrex mixing bowls I'd forgotten I had! JOY! I remembered most things I inherited of hers, but I'd forgotten about those.

Thanks Andee.  There's still a tough row to hoe but hopefully it will improve as time goes on.

being given kitchen things that were my grandmas' (both maternal and paternal) and great grandmas' (again the same), because I was going to be given them one day anyway. It means another big box of kitchen things to pack, but they are worth the effort because of all the wonderful memories attached to all of them.  [smiley=smitten.gif]

...garden fresh corn on the cob. We didn't grow any this year, but I bought it from a man who lives locally, and it was incredible. I picked up a dozen. We were greedy and had three ears each tonight, so we may be buying more soon.  [smiley=2thumbsup.gif]
