Happiness is...

My last post was november 13th! That's a while ago!

I've been going to class, taking notes, reading, taking notes, summarizing, taking notes,responding, taking notes... I figured out that my assignments totalled 6300+ finished words. Amazing. It's a good thing these words didn't all have to be said at the same time, or else myself would have been even more bleary and foggy brained than I am presently. I'm almost done though...only to remember that the exam is in two weeks.Yikes, woman.

My dear little grandson phoned me today. We had a lovely long conversation. We talked about cars and trucks and air planes and breakfast and outside and play and we sang silly songs and did our alphabet. The darling boy made my day! I miss those children so very much and I really shouldn't say this but I cry about them often and think myself very unfortunate that they are so very far away.Then this happens and I'm all better...for a while.

Another wonderful thing happened this week. I received mail from my darling granddaughter. She is doing a project in school. It has to do with a little paper boy called flat Stanley. Well he arrived this week. He is our visitor and we are to treat him as such. He has become a representative of the princess I miss so much! I suppose he is her ambassador. I'm keeping a journal for him and I stick him in my purse smiley face out, or in the seat elastic of my car so he can see out the window. He goes where I go. I introduce him where ever appropriate and people smile and laugh. Ah, imagination is still alive!!

That's it for today. I want to feed my silly dog and do what ever yet...maybe nothing...

Happy December 1st!
It's first Advent; light a candle and remember Jesus.

Aha, so that's who Flat Stanley is. I was wondering about him. Who named him that? It is just too cute!

His character is from a children's book.
