A nice thing to hear and a nice bit of news

Monday I had to take my oldest daughter to an appointment. The night before her friend stayed then night and he needed a ride home so he went on our outing with us and I dropped him off after. Afterwards my daughter told me he had been a little nervous at first but relaxed quickly. My daughter said she had told him I’m the easiest person to talk to. She said her coworker agreed with her. What a sweet thing to hear. Made me feel good seeing they view me like that. Later that night my stepson called and said he will be home for Christmas. I am so happy to hear that. Last I know the marines he is stationed with were going to be deployed. That has changed and he gets to get a two week vacation to come home for Christmas. Photo is unrelated it’s a butterfly I saw months ago.

This is a pretty butterfly. I am so glad that your daughter told you what her coworker told her. I am sure you are excited to have your stepson back home for Christmas.

@LadyDuck when the teenage years were a bit rough it throws me sometimes when she says these nice things. Then it makes me so happy. I’m glad as adult she and I have such a nice relationship. I can’t wait to spend time with him! I’m thinking of things we can do.

Any good news is welcome to take the pressure off us as we tend to be burdened with problems from time to time.

Sounds like things are going well in your world. BTW, are you still doing Fetch? Just curious?

That's a lovely sulfur butterfly. In it's larval stage, it eats cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower leaves. We had to pick them off and squish the caterpillars when I was growing up. That was a nice thing to hear about yourself. I'm glad his troupe isn't being deployed and he'll get a nice vacation for Christmas.
