May I brag?

This evening I am a bit achy, think a bug is trying to get hold in me, even my hair aches! I was sitting here trying to get my mouse to work, only to discover, I was holding onto my mobile phone for goodness sake!! I think I will take something lovely that will help me sleep and call it an early night! As I came downstairs just a bit ago, I saw to my joy, a clean and tidy kitchen! The kids had not only gotten dinner together, but had cleaned the messy dishes from earlier in the day! Not a word... just quietly taken care of! I love it!! It's mainly my Beth, as she is home this semester. She has become such a delightful young woman, and thinks of things like that. She is unafraid to try new things, as if failure never crosses her mind. She thinks of others in such kind thoughtful ways. She is quick to volunteer, slow to anger and judgement, taking care of things that need doing with no pomp and circumstance... just quietly. I won't go on, so as to avoid creating a big head on her, though I doubt that would ever occur anyway. She is a love, and I am so thankful to see her becoming such a wonderful person! I understand now that it isn't a matter of parents really bragging, but more taking such pleasure in the good people their children become. All my kids are wonderful.. and I see I shall have to dedicate a page to each one, but tonight I am thankful for my Bethie!


A princess costume she designed and created for Libby.


A Vampire for Halloween, she wore it to work that day, blood, teeth and all! Marvelous!!
