Happy Friday my friends! No work for us! Love having taken early retirement. Besides being our usual Friday date night, I received some exciting news.
Our son and his family moved into their new house yesterday! He was too busy to talk on the phone, because the movers were there. I know he had a lot of settling in to do, so we will talk more tomorrow. 
The Ice Princess isn’t the only star in the family. Her brother, our precious grandson, won another championship for his team. He is being sought out by coaches and teams in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Washington D.C., and throughout the Northeast.
Our younger son stopped by to chat for three days in a row. Yesterday, he delivered 4 Doodles pumpkins/gourds that Doodles the cat sniffed before he passed away. Our son saved seeds from that and grew more. They mean so much to me.
This is the stuff that keeps me going!

That is a great pic. Hey being a hockey player would net him a lot of bucks. He could become something later he majored in in college.

Way to go, Dian, the ice princess and the ice prince are your grandchildren. Is your grandson the team leader of the Jr.Comets ?
Is he holding the trophy ? :-)

@stringer321 A goalie defends the net to keep the pucks from going in and the other team scoring. He isn't an attacker.
I will take photos of the pumpkins when it isn't raining and dark outside, and I promise to write a post around Halloween.

Thank you!
He's their main goalie for them and for so many other teams. My husband and I roll our eyes when our son tells us what team he is playing with. It changes multiple times a year. Now he plays for at least two teams and is sent out to be goalie for other teams.
Yes, that's him holding the trophy.

That's wonderful news, your grandson is pursuing his dream, as a ice hockey goalie! This is beautiful
And pumpkins/gourds that Doodles sniffed, you can plant them near his grave-site

Thanks! Our grandson is so excited to be doing so well. He's wanted this since he was 2 years old - honestly! He works so hard, goes to hockey camps whenever they're offered and practices all the time.
Yes, a Doodles pumpkin that grew from one he snelffed means everything to us. Sounds silly, but it's not.

@DianneN This is a dream come true, for your sweet grandson! And a pumpkin that Doodles sniffed, in NOT being silly:( I had a dog Micah, he had to be euthanized 7 years ago. I will keep his precious collar, for the rest of my life

He's 10. Gee, that sounds so young..
I'm so happy they are in their new house. Lots of settling in and all that, but each kid has their own bathroom!
Thanks so much! I was on the phone talking with a FL friend when my husband handed me my martini earlier than usual. I had to hang up on her.

@DianneN It definitely would be a royal treat getting all good news in a row and everything culminating in a romantic date nightStay blessed and wishing you more royal treats.
I have plans for holidays and one major thing on to do list is spending time with my daughters and they do need some help in academics. So guess I am still wearing cap of a mom teacher

@LotusEyes He is still wearing his skates. Most of the other boys have their sneakers on. He's tall for his age, but not that tall!

@DianneN Wow! that's cool. I liked the color of the sports wear. Your grandson is taller and the trophy makes him feel even taller.
