Celebrating Always

  Celebrating with Ruth Ayres at Discover Play Build.  and linking with others who share their celebrations, too. I am grateful to Ruth for helping us celebrate together!  

        This time last week I was in Texas visiting my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, watching Carter in his marching band in a regular game and in a competition. They did beautifully and earned a one. Now I'm back, but they're on their way to the "next" level of competition. If they do well this time, it's on to the state contest. Busy, busy are the parents. I remember. And I celebrate being able to spend a weekend seeing Carter and his band, seeing his parents be those volunteer parents who do a lot! 

 Here is what I celebrate from the past week: 

It's very flat in Lubbock, Texas where my son and family live.
But I found a beautiful sunset there, too!

Celebrating this part of my family. Being with them is a joy.

Haven't been to a Friday night lights game in many years.
It was a lot of fun!

Carter plays the trombone just as I did so long
ago. This is a special thing, although I really
had nothing to do with the decision-promise!

We were at the Texas Tech campus/stadium for

another game on Saturday night. I love the huge buildings

on college campuses. They make one seem like 

you're doing serious business there, even in football!

Carter is a beginning driver and took me for a ride around
the neighborhood. Wow! This is an amazing thing!

On that drive, I had to take a picture of this
Halloween decoration, on a fireplug! And yes,
the back is easily recognized so no fire hazard!

Leaving my airport, and saw this reflection of it in the new
hotel. I liked the image.

Won this wonderful new poetry book from
my poetry friend, Robyn Hood Black, out last
week from Pomelo Books, Sylvia Vardell and
Janet Wong.

Both girls came on Wednesday, and before dinner,
we read Halloween poems, and Ingrid read most
of them! So great to see her reading to her sister!

                       Wishing a Happy Halloween to everyone, starting another good week!
