Last night, we attended a dinner in honor of the Elks State President. Dinner was so good. The President got up to give some after-dinner comments and began a speech talking about a person in our District. I was listening and he said this person was initiated into the Elks in 2003 and immediately was elected Leading Knight and served as Exalted Ruler in 2004. George and I were trying to think who that was. He leaned over and said that almost sounds like you, but not quite. Then the State President went on to say, “She served as Piggy Bank Chairman and then later as Publicity Chairman before becoming Piggy Bank Chairman again. She spearheaded a cookbook project to raise money for the Piggy Bank Project that netted over two thousand dollars to help kids with special needs. Her 22-year -old daughter Tiffany suffered a stroke as she was giving birth, and this Elk’s granddaughter was born with cerebral palsy. This Elk has carried on Elkdom, even in the face of her battle with cancer.” He said so many other nice things, but I was crying so much, that I don’t remember all the nice words. I was completely taken by surprise, and was called up to the stage to receive a special pin that is only given to 19 people in California and Hawaii. I also received a framed commendation. It was almost overwhelming! I am still speechless, believe it or not!!!

Good Morning MMC Gang

How are you?

I'm fine but a bit sad because my holidays are over already. This morning I started working again. Luckily my co-workers did a great job taking over my work tasks. Therfore I was able to start slowly in my first work day.

Which is quite good because the next two months are going to be busy. In fact, I have something planned on almost all weekends and work will get busier and busier the closer we get to christmas.

Good Merry Monday Morning everybody! How are you all doing? I hope everyone is doing good.

My son is doing good and back to school, I am just glad it is all over and he is fine.

It's been a hectic couple of weeks . It was my 2nd son's birthday last Monday , I can't believe he is 2!! As Mr Festive was off last week we also managed to get some decorating done. We have repainted and put up new wallpaper. We did it at nights after the children went to bed. It was good to have the distraction and the new colours have really lifted our spirits. It was one of those moments when you step back, breathe in and go ''ahhhhhhh'' . Change can be good.

I have missed you all, I have been meaning to pop in quickly but the days and nights have been so full with different things.


Have a wonderful start to the week everyone!
Have I missed anything big??

 

[Solice]

I have some news!
We just bought a house!!!

And we have to move in by December 1st!
So I can't start Christmas in November as usual this year....

The house we are moving into is outside the City, on the countryside with view to the mountains, woods and fjord
(but just ten minutes away from here)

We are so happy! :-D
