Week's end

Good news today.  First-born got a promotion at work and is now toy manager.  I can think of all sorts of foolishness to hit him with at that news.  Gary said we ought to greet him with red clown noses when he gets home today.  Maybe we should watch that movie, 'Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium'.  Probably not.  Still, thrilled at his advancement, and even though oldest son said he'd rather not be in charge of the toy department, he said he figures it's a good step to the next place.  Well-said. He's been an asst. manager before in another setting, and is well-qualified.  I'm so proud.

And Gary has another client to see about a build job tomorrow. Still waiting on the two bids....goodness, sometimes it takes so long to get a response.  Hope is in the air, though, and often it seems so elusive.

Glad it's Friday with the weekend staring us in the face.  Sweet Indian boyfriend and his sister are coming over tonight to extend the least one's birthday and he and oldest daughter will cook us dinner on Sunday night.  His mom's recipe, so it'll be spicy delicious-ness.  Then we'll watch 'The Amazing Race' which is in India this weekend.  It'll be curious to get his spin on it.

Take care, all.  Hope your day is sweet.  I have a 'real' letter to read that came in the mail today, so I'm all set!
