SHE DID IT!

Rest in Peace Steve Jobs.  You always wonder how a company will behave when the Man himself is gone.  He certainly changed the world with his insight and innovation.  I only wish I could afford his products.

In a happier note.  I want to congratulate my daughter Danielle who has finished her schooling for her Bachelors Degree and will walk across the stage for her graduation in Dec.  We are so proud of her.  She is continuing on for her Masters.  It was difficult to continue to work toward this while losing your job and trying to keep your head above water, but she hung in there and did it.  She didn't let the loss of their house or the having to take a job half the pay of her old one keep her from dream.  Now continuing her education while working and family obligations will be hard, I just know she can do it.  Love you Deedee. 

The last few days I have been going through photos for a project Nicole has in school.  They have to make a pictorial timeline of times in their life.  You would think with all the pictures Jack takes it would have been easy, but no so much.  Maybe too many to chose from and finding the right ones was a little more difficult than we thought.  Hopefully the ones we found and the ones they have at home are okay.  Usually these things are done at home but the teacher wants it all done in class.  I'm thinking his idea was to diminish the influence of too much parental help.  I know the ones I saw for 4th graders where I worked showed a lot of that.   

Well have to go and order Danielle's present for her wonderful work.  She needs it before Dec. as the books she needs for her Masters classes are much cheaper when she can download them on a Kindle. 

Have a great day.

  1. Congrats to DD. Not a doubt in my mind that she won't get her masters. So sad about Steve and it does make you wonder if Apple will continue to be as innovative without him.

  2. Congratulations to your daughter. That is a real accomplishment and you have every reason to be proud of her. She had lots of obsticals to overcome, but did it anyway. She made it this far, I have every confidence she will get her Masters. She can be proud of herself too.

  3. I admire your daughter for working so hard, that's really inspirational! I think that as much as anything refusing to give up and the willingness to work for what we feel we're really supposed to do in this life is key to success. Bless you my friend.

  4. You've got a daughter to be proud of Terry, and like Joe above, has my admiration, too many youngsters these days want it all without having to put in any effort, and it's like a breath of fresh air reading your post, good luck to her.
    Thanks for dropping by and posting, much appreciated.
