A Very Happy Weekend!!

Hello everyone!  I tried to finish and post my Half Full Friday post last week, however the Blogger feature was down on both Thursday evening and Friday morning.   I was unable to try again until 'literally' just now.



My 3 Men!



Last week was the end of our current semester at the college where I work, so I was very busy with student grades, attendance and lots of paperwork.  My youngest son, who attends there, had finals, meetings and interviews to keep us extra busy in addition to our jobs.

On Friday I took a vacation day to get ready for my oldest son's Hooding ceremony that evening; his big graduation on Saturday; all three of my boys being home; company, dinners, cookouts, etc.  All of that went wonderfully, but way too fast of course!  Events like this always seem like a 'blurr' when they are over with, at least to me.  Relatives and my middle son just headed back to Chicago earlier today.  We are all tired, but what a great visit and weekend we had!!

I will be writing about all of the events, feelings and celebration this week.  For now; I wanted to you all know that I am not only doing better... even great at the moment.   I also want to present my oldest son, Doctor Michael!!!!!!  So Proud!!

Again, I will be writing much more later this week.  Right now I have some important things to take care of, Because, in the middle of writing this post... I had a very nice family look at my house.  They LIKED it a lot!!  We are meeting again tomorrow to work out the details.  Please keep praying everyone!  I have a Good feeling from my heart about this family and selling my house soon!!

Thank you all for your understanding in my time of many, many changes!  I love and appreciate all of the comments, emails and phone calls of support and encouragement that I have received!!  XOXO

So Proud of You, Son!

Now you all probably know by now, that I have 3 awesome grown sons.  They are kind, respectful, hardworking, amazingly talented and very good to me!  Above all else...they have great character! 

Last night was my youngest son's time to shine.  He is in Culinary school and yesterday he was the Host of their Spring event.  He looked so handsome all dressed up and took his job for the evening very seriously.

The 'Cajun' Culinary dinner consisted of Hors d'oeuvres, followed by a 7 course meal.  Appetizers of Alligator and Andouille Sausage over Red Beans and Rice.  Crawfish Bisque soup.  Grilled Fruit Salad.  Pecan-Encrusted Catfish with Remoulade Sauce.  Apricot Mimosa Sorbet.  Entree of Stuffed Chicken Breast and Sweet Potato Creme Brulee for dessert.  Yummmm, it was all so good!

This is a picture of the main course, Stuffed Chicken Breast.  I should have taken pictures of each course.  I will remember that next time.  I was 'visiting' and watching my son 'direct traffic' as he put it, with the servers.

The culinary students spent months getting ready for this event.  They all did an excellent job!  The evening and meal was wonderful!  Everyone, including the students. had a Great time!

My son has come so far and done so well!  I could not be prouder of him!  But even more than that, it was great to see him so proud of himself, to see him smiling and having a good time with his culinary classmates!

Thank you for a great evening and meal, son!  I love you! ~ Mom
