REVISION at Daughter's Request!

Daughter wanted me to be a bit clearer on my description of her years at
Cornell.....
She spent 3 1/2 years getting her undergraduate degree....
Making the Dean's List every single semester I might add!!
And then another 3 years getting her
Doctorate of Law degree....
She didn't want you to think it took her 7 years to get through college....
Oh Me.....I tend not to be very clear at times........
And she also added that after I freaked out mid way into Virginia
I gave her the keys to the car and she drove us to
Philadelphia.....she was only 16 at the time...

Those daughters really keep you on your toes, don't they! Mine always read my blog to make sure I haven't posted anything that might reflect badly on them too. On the flip side, they are learning things about me and our family's history. I know I've told them the story of my mother's wedding gift, but they didn't remember it until I posted it on my blog... I guess now they'll be fighting over who gets the dish! Tell your daughter not to worry... NO mother would admit it took seven years for a child to finish college... 5 years, maybe; 7 years, never!

Oh! those daughters! They keep us on track, don't they? Sons, too. Every time I mention that our son was in college 13 years, he says, "Well, I wasn't messing around, I do have 4 degrees." Yea, well he could have taught high school after the first degree (which is what he does now). He couldn't decide during those 13 years what he wanted to do. Thanks goodness, it wasn't out of our pocket after that first degree. Have a good week. Sally

I am now laughing aloud at the daughter. :-) And Peg's comment is hysterical..."NO mother would admit it took seven years for a child to finish college... 5 years, maybe; 7 years, never!"

HA!

LOL I can just imagine the phone conversation and the "MOM" that started it!

My daughter also finished her undergraduate degree in 3 1/2 years ...we're fortunate to have bright kids!

Looks like you've been having an exciting week. Floods, doggie operations, crazy magazine people. You have one smart cookie for a daughter. Is your grandbaby just as smart?
Great memories with the daughter. They grow up too fast don't you think? Mimi

Oh those daughters! Mine usually correct me in a comment, lol. I assumed she had gone for a huger degree since it took 7 years:>) Isn't it wonderful that our kids read our blogs?

Daughter got a call on Wednesday at 4:00 a.m. from our home town Police Force..... It seems the "Big Boss" called them after seeing women in his closet and a dead man hanging from his Ceiling Fan.... Only Problem.......He doesn't have any ceiling fans in his house... Daughter...... having to make the decision what to do with him.....since we were home in Georgia sound asleep....and unable to hear even a bomb go off... Had the police take him to the local hospital...... Now the BB is heading towards 90 in a few months.... He lives alone and still drives.... We have been trying to get him into an Assisted Living Home for the past three years... He refused to budge.... He refused to let anyone into the house.. We also tried to get him to give up his license....to no avail.... The sad part is we could not get anyone to assist us... His doctor told us years ago that he was a grown man and we couldn't tell him what to do.... So back to the ER this Wednesday he was checked ...

TIME OUT..........................

In the best interest of my left hand I find it necessary to take a short break from blogging.......that nasty staph infection has refused to go away and with no signs of it improving I need to stop using the computer......every time I go online to type the finger resembles W.C. Fields nose.....not a good thing.....I hope I can return soon and catch up with my Weekends in Paris....but in the meantime...remember.....Don't garden without gloves!! See you all soon.....
