Customer service

Had a great customer service experience this weekend.  Absolutely fantastic.  Attentive, efficient and very professional.  Made my day.  Especially since earlier in the day our family experienced horrible, terrible, very bad service.  Worse, when I finally had had enough, this person refused to accept any responsibility for it at all.  Drives me crazy.  Fortunately, the supervisor was a little (not a lot) more attentive.

Thanks Robert for restoring my faith that there are people out there who listen.

Robin’s birthday!

Robin had a birthday this weekend.  She turned …. yeah like I’m going to post that.  She reads this thing. We had a lot of fun on her day and I believe she enjoyed it.  Late Saturday afternoon, we came back home and as Robin and I were getting ready so that we could go to NorthwayChurch.Malta, Katie and Joshua got the party ready.  Katie had been working Mom for the past two months finding out what she wanted for her birthday.  Way to go, Kate!  Josh helped by making a card for Mommy.  A special two page card.  As an added bonus, Josh put his prized paper airplane in the card as a gift.  Well Rob loved her gifts but you can guess which one was her FAVORITE.  Katie?!  Why didn’t we think of giving mom a paper airplane???

Happy birthday, babe.  Hope this year is your best yet!

I have a 5 year old

I’m blessed with two children.  One’s nearly 15 and the other is 5.  Very different kids but both are great.  You can see the picture of my beautiful little girl (who’s not so little anymore) on this site but I want to talk about Joshua for a minute.

Over the last couple of weeks, he’s really been putting on the charm.  Get this, I came downstairs the other day and Josh surprised me by making my lunch for me.  How cute is that?  He was so proud of himself.  And a couple of days ago, Robin made a comment to a friend that in just a few minutes she would be alone.  Josh heard his mom and told her “Mommy, I’ll always be with you.”  Rob told me that her heart just melted.  My son is definitely a charmer…. but he’s also an imp.  I’m just waiting to see if he’s setting us up.

Spring in the Northeast

They say boring people talk about the weather but Wow!  The weather the past 10-12 days has really gone a long way to erasing the memories of February and March.  I mean who can complain about the sunshine, blue skies, moderate temps, and no bugs?  Unbelievable….. and we had it for Spring Break to boot.  

It’s weather like this that reminds me of why we put up with four months of cold.  Thank you, God.
