Nursing school pinning ceremony

 We were happy to go to Eddie's nursing program pinning ceremony.

 

Eddie, BSN, with Ralph and me.

 And we were all delighted that he got one of only 3 awards! I had never heard of the Daisy award, but it's a BFD. When the professor described the award, we were all kind of zoning out, then he announced Eddie's name and we all snapped to attention. Jules kind of squealed, and we all applauded. He later got a text from one of his professors saying she'd nominated him. 

Three generations of nurses! 

After the festivaties the newly pinned BSN's headed off to Sweetwater to celebrate, and we went back to Heather and Ed's. We treated them and Jules to pizza, and we visited before heading home. Such a lovely day.

And I stayed off the TV and instagram, because I didn't want to spoil the day by the latest goings ons by the tangerine twatwaffle and his band of thieves. F*ck them all.
 

Work in Progress Wednesday

 Christmas Shoppes, crop 1.

 I hit 5% after 43 days! It's finally starting to look like something!

A new week

 It's feeling like a blue day, even tho rain is predicted off and on all day.

 I'm so not good at taking selfies.

4.75 % done!

 

 

A warm day!

 Back into the 80's today. Spring is so unpredictable.

Two lousy pix of my pairs glasses. I look awful inthe bottom pic, but oh well.

 

3.89 % done! I printed out the pic of what each page of the pattern covers, and seems like the qsnap covers about 3 pages. 

Saturday a tooth popped off of my partial dentures. I took them to the dentist yesterday, and the lab can hopefully just glue it back on, but they need it a full day, plus pick up and delivery. So I'm without the dentures til Wednesday afternoon, which is part of why the pix are so bad. Just another annoyance of life.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! No tacos for us today, soup for me.

And F*ck the tangerine twatwaffle and his treasonous grift gang of pedophiles. 

Hello May!

 May will be a good month! Oldest grandson Eddie will graduate Stockton University with his BSN, and already has a job offer in the ER. There will be a party to celebrate his accomplishment.

May is also our anniversary. 54 years! Yikes!

 54 years, three beautiful daughters, three fantastic sons in law, two grandsons and two granddaughters. Life has generally been good to us.

My new glasses with the sparkly frame toppers!

And of course, F*ck the tangerine twatwaffle felon, pedophile, grifter and his band of awful people.
 

April is ending

 The month went by pretty fast. This week is rainy, and cooler, but that's ok.

At 11k stitches, and almost 3% done, Christmas Shoppes is starting to look like something. When doing colors with a lot of stitches, it goes pretty fast. I did 800 stitches last night, a dark brown and a black. 

I picked up my new glasses yesterday. I love the toppers to it. 

 I got a bunch of toppers, including a sunglasses one. Ralph likes the sparkly green the best, so I'm wearing that one right now. 

Every evening I've had the electric fireplace on, and it's so cozy!

And of course, F*ck the tangerine twatwaffle and his band of grifters and pedophiles. 

 

Rainy Days

 We again went from shorts to long pants,  from the windows open to closed and the heat on. April.

 We started with this- the gas insert out, electric added.

To this! I like the ember look rather than the log look, and the orange rather than the blue or purple. It has so many color combinations! And it puts out heat when I want it to, the remote has a thermostat. We got it from the Fireplace Store where Reilly, my great nephew's fiancee works. Great nephew Connor did the installation for us, since he used to work there also. 

 

Two  percent done!

 I had seen these cuties on instagram, so Ralph added them to his Lowe's order. I'm not sure what I'll use them for, but they are just too cute!

Color me cynical about the latest episode of the tangerine twatwaffle and his merry band of grifters. F*ck them all. I'm not the only one to doubt the whole thing was legit.
