Wow! What a wonderful day!

Saturday was a wonderful day for me and my family. We celebrated my son’s 20th birthday. WOW! How quickly time flies, it seems like it was just yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital. He wanted to go see a movie and then eat at one of his favorite restaurants in Pensacola. So that is what we did. It was late when we got home but I checked my email and was delighted to see that Misty S. from Krazy About Teaching had nominated my blog for a Liebster Award.
