Tickled Pink Tuesday

I'm a little late in posting today.  My day started with hanging out with the Dots while their mommy had a training class...lucky right there to spend the morning with them.  We have a nephew who left over a week ago to teach at a school in Kenya and this last Sunday he was finally able to get connected to the Internet so I know that was a huge relief to his mom and sister, as well as the rest of the family.  We are so proud of him and the work he will be doing there.  Quite an adventure for a 19 year old, all the while doing his college classes online.    Then good fortune would come to another nephew....being promoted to Engineer for the Fire Department he works for.  Hard work, perseverance and a dream sure paid off, and we are just over the top thrilled for him and his family.  Today arriving home from my play day with the Dots this was
waiting for me in a box at the foot of my mailbox!!!!  WOOHOO, my friend Terry from here in Cali sent me this bundle of Swell!!!!!!  She knows this is one of my all time fabric fabrics. Thanks bunches Terry.  I'm taking you up on that sewing weekend. 

Allie and I are taking Tuesdays to report on things that tickle us... happy, positive things in our lives......."Tickled Pink Tuesday".  If you would like to join in feel free to grab the button.  Wishing you all a Tickled Pink Tuesday.
