Spring Break was great!

So, I got all of my PLA (prior learning) papers reviewed and all were recommended for credit!
Yeah! last term knocked out 18 credits toward my degree!
Last week was Spring Break and I enjoyed it! I started out by having dinner with a great friend- Christi and some great wine.
I read 3 novels and watched about 6 movies! Now I can't wait for Angels and Demons to come to the big screen. Fell in love with "The Last Holiday" movie all over again.
My sister and her two teenage daughters moved in a little over a week ago and we are adjusting rather well to a house full of FOUR women...
I topped off the week with a weekend downtown Seattle with the same two nieces. We attended the Northwest Women's show, stayed in the downtown Hilton, did some shopping and then Sunday did the Underground Tour of Seattle. Did you know that one of the largest contributors to our early city budget was the taxation on our "seamstresses?" http://www.undergroundtour.com/ Of course the girls loved the associated ghost stories.
(I'll post some pics soon)
I definitely took advantage of the week off and started another term of school yesterday.
This is another busy term with 21 credits on my plan.....then taking it easy with 9-12 for the summer!

We had so much fun!!

Just a short note, I'm still seeing a bit blurry...you'll see why.....
My grand kids and I had a great time this weekend.
Jackson, Abagayle and I dug up an old brick patio and removed the bricks to prepare for the fence coming in. They were soooo cute trying to drive/move the wheelbarrow...I needed to lend a little help.
We played games, went to the library and make cookies on a stick, which they decorated with sprinkles, even had lunch at their favorite spot - Costco!

I had a great visit with my daughter as well. She brought me a thoughtful gift and as always I enjoyed just spending time talking with her.
Monday morning I ended up with a gift from Lorelei,,,pink eye - oh boy!
Got on the drops yesterday, but the eye was even more swollen this morning.
(hence the blurriness)
I have soooo much more sympathy for babies now that have this...
Forgot to get pics, but please know that we had a great time and I can't wait to see them again.
Time to go put warm, wet washcloth on my eye....looks like I got punched!!

Ciao' for now, V-
