Wow so much good news!

This is simply wonder-full....and spreading to outside of us from the Cannuck forum.

...you get to finally see why Lake sailing is as much fun as ocean sailing (racing).

(It was a long time in coming...)

Check out the sunset:

(although it is setting on the "wrong" side...hahaha)

....you are only a few weeks away from seeing family that you've not seen in two years. Mahvelous!

...you look at your husband and daughter, realising they ARE your greatest accomplishments in life. Priceless indeed!

...you know you are truly loved and adored like you have never been loved and adored before. :)

Oh, I miss my sailing days on Lake Ontario and Lake Erie! Yes, lake sailing on the Great Lakes is pretty phenomenal!

Don't you love it when you get treated to a lovely homemade Ukrainian dinner from new friends you met on VJ? Joe and I visited Anna and Richard last night - they also live in Stockbridge, and Anna is originally from Kiev. We had a wonderful meal, complete with Ukrainian vodka and cognac, and had an enjoyable evening visiting afterwards.

“...Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we knew all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?”

That is a lovely way to spend an evening, and with Ukrainian food to boot! Perogies, cabbage rolls, yum yum.

Don't you just it when . . . . your kitty decides today that you are Queen Sheba, and they will honour you with purrs and snuggles. :luv:

When you finally get your tax incentive check, go out to buy the barbeque you have had your eye on for 2 years now - and find that it is on sale for $60 less than the regular price you were willing to pay!
