Well, almost two days late....
We had a nice 4th of July weekend....we went down to Philadelphia on Thursday to see the University of Pennsylvania where Sam will go to college. We ate Cheesesteaks for lunch, great tacos for a snack, and Thai food for dinner...gee...think we ate enough? We went to the Penn bookstore and bought T-Shirts and a sweatshirt for my Mom...and sat and just looked around and took in the sights. Sam showed me just where his college house is and about where his room will be....it was a nice day to be together , just the four of us.I see him fitting in there so well and I realize that those days of the four of us together may become fewer and fewer and I just cherish each moment....
On the 4th I made some Red Velvet Cupcakes and had fun decorating them...and everyone had fun eating them. We had BBQ chicken, home made cole slaw, corn on the cob, and I can not think of what else at the moment....no pics...we were too busy eating and having fun....just pics of the cupcakes...
My husband left for Brussels this afternoon for the rest of the month...we are going to miss him...he will miss my birthday and our 28th wedding anniversary. It just does not feel right with him gone..but ya gotta do what ya gotta do....
It has been a lovely week...last week too....my baby graduated from high school...
He is on the left....
Happy times...bittersweet times...times of change...
Hats off to you Sam...
