I had the treat of watching the Royal Wedding in Stockholm this morning. The dress Princess Viktoria wore was perfect! The royal barge which took the bridal couple from the church to the palace looked like a medieval contraption, all gold and blue and straight out of history. It was a historical moment. Since it was live via internet there was no editing of the various VIP's attending the ceremony from all over Europe. They were real people, having a special time.
It's sort of nice to see an event done well. It's good to see that it CAN be done!
My daughter has been working at a camp all week, and she will be back tonight, along with her brother. I'm sorry she missed the pageantry. I missed Princess Diana's wedding years ago, and I always was sort of sad I did.
Now it's time to get back to work on a busy Saturday. Graduation parties (two) and meeting with several people. My youngest son is taking off for a few days, and my oldest boy is leaving for a week at a camp as lifeguard and counselor.
My second son made the Dean's list at his college this semester! My oldest son had a perfect score on his GED test for last week. I have my own things to celebrate, and believe me I do!
I need to write an update on my Corgi: after a vet examined her the other day he is doubtful that she is expecting puppies. I am relieved! I was getting worried that Basset Corgis --Corsettes--would be too difficult for her to manage. They are significantly bigger than corgis. So, now we can hope for purebred corgis sometime hence. We'll see what happens!
It's fun to plan.
Home schooling has so many benefits, but one of the greatest is simply knowing your own children so well, spending time with them, encouraging their passions, and then letting them go when they are ready. I guess it really is a superior education, too. I am thankful to God for that. I am just in a happy, grateful spirit today. I am thankful for dozens of friends who rejoice with me, too.
