Summer Fun...


Last Friday we soaked up some sun at my sister, Mary Leigh's, house. I wish I was enjoying the sun on a beach, but lounging by the pool is the next best thing. Afterward we enjoyed a delicious lunch – compliments of Mary Leigh. We had bacon, vegetable, and feta cheese quiche, spinach salad with candied pecans, blueberry muffins, and strawberries with Nutella. It was such a treat!


I think he's overwhelmed by the size of the strawberries...

A Memorial for Boma




About two weeks ago my family went to Martha’s Vineyard for a memorial service for my grandmother, Boma, who passed away in December. She and Pop, my grandfather, lived on Martha’s Vineyard for several years and we grew up spending time there during the summer. The memorial service was very sweet. The family planted a pink dogwood tree in memory of her, some of the other relatives performed musical numbers, and then we shared favorite memories of her over dinner. It was so nice to spend time with the family and a wonderful way to remember Boma.

Woohoo!!!

I took my nursing boards about a week ago and I'm happy to report that I passed! Since I've already been working as a nurse (with a temporary license) not much will change. I'll continue working on the same floor, getting the same pay; however, I no longer have to spend every minute of my day worrying about the exam...it's such a relief!
