It’s Friday!

We know what that means!  Time for some Good Vibrations Gratitude!

1. My readers
   
   My last post was my 200th post.  Thank you for reading and for all your support!

   

2. Warm weather

   While it seems that we have gone straight from winter to summer, I will take it.

   

3. A rainy but memorable day.

   My daughter had her first field trip at a local farm.  It was a great day, despite the rain.  I was going to write more, but I think the event deserves its own post.  But here is a preview.

   

   

   
4. Surviving wasps and ticks

   Along with the warmer weather, we have been getting visits from unwanted guests.

   My daughter had her first tick bite last night.  I saw it in the morning.  Now I know I must check her every night.  I have never had a tick bite myself so I have never worried about it.  Luckily I was able to get it all out with tweezers and we went to the pediatrician just in case.  So I will keep an eye on it for a rash.

   We also had a few hibernating queen paper wasps in the house.  That freaked me out.  I am not a fan of bugs.  Killing bugs was Bryon’s job but now it is mine.

   
   Sorry,  I couldn’t resist.  I laugh each and every time I saw that on my Facebook newsfeed.  Though this was in a different context.  Probably in the intended context.

   Anyway, the day after I discovered the wasps was my routine treatment from the exterminator.  Luckily Mr. Exterminator was very nice.  He didn’t mind me staring at him adoringly because at that moment, he was my knight in shining armor.  He even located a wasps nest on my garage and got rid of it.

   

5. Everyone who has worked hard on the second annual Bryon C. McKim Derby Party

   Saturday will be the second annual Bryon C. McKim Derby Party.  I am thankful for everyone who donated their goods and their time toward this event.  We raise money for my daughter’s education trust and toward the establishment of scholarships to be set up in Bryon’s memory at Siena College and Albany Law School.  If you are in the Albany area, we hope to see you.

   Tickets can be purchased here or you can buy them at the door.

 

What are you thankful for this week?
