The baby is at peace.  My niece, that was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma, passed away wednesday.  She can finally rest and doesn't have to suffer anymore. (To me, that is a positive)

Have fun Des!!! 
It has been a beautiful day here. We went for a ride a little while ago and saw a moose having a snack in a field in the middle of a small community near here. We were parked for about 20 minutes watching him.  He even used to lift his head up with a mouthful of grass!! I had the cameras left at home so I didn't get a picture  >:(  Love seeing nature like that.

I'm home, too, and nearly have the house back in order.  I have one whole day tomorrow to myself.  I get to sleep in and wake when I'm ready in my own bed.  Ahhhhh. .. . .

Watched a beautiful sunset on the way home from the dialysis unit. Hubby's dialysis machine broke down yesterday (started making noises when it was turned off!! Sounded like a time bomb!!) .  Sort of spoiled our plans for the weekend. We were supposed to go to a wedding instead we had to go for dialysis!!

Oh, too bad about the wedding, Del.

But weddings are my positive. I am an officiant and two couples contacted me about doing their weddings. I just love to do weddings. If I had enough weddings to do, I might retire from teaching, LOL.

And both of these weddings would be in the mountains, which makes it even better!  :2thumbsup;

We took the kids to see dogs dressed up in costumes today. My three year old was so excited he was squealing. He had a comment for every single dog. I asked him which was his favorite dog and he said "the one wearing the clothes!"

Then I bought them a chocolate mousse filled crepe. My six-year-old had said that he did not know what chocolate mousse was, so I had to right that wrong at the first opportunity!

Dogs dressed up in costumes?

That must have been hilarious!  :rofl;

My positive today is that I got to do 40 uninterrupted minutes of exercise in the pool. So refreshing.

And we have a book club meeting tonight. I have not had time to read the book, so I'll sit in the corner and catch up with grading from my course this past week!  :yahoo;

That will really help me feel good! Then out to dinner with friends.

I saw those dogs on the news channel.  The 3 year old was right.  I didn't squeal but I laughed a lot.
