my kids

When daughter was a little girl I used to sing to her"Dulcinea" at bedtime, a song from the musical Man Of La Mancha ...... Yesterday I pulled it up on You Tube to see if I still remembered the words. While it was playing daughter said "I know that song! You used to sing it to me!" :O) My eyes teared up......it made me happy that she remembered.

I've finished wrapping the Christmas presents that I have..........I still need to get a handful of gifts, and a few gift cards.

Middle son closes on HIS first home today. It seems like the process took forever. But finally it will be done. I'm proud of him.
He started work at a car dealership a couple/3 years ago. His job was to keep snow off the cars,do oil changes, and to detail the cars after they'd been sold. He was a teen. After a couple months he decided he wanted to sell cars. He asked repeatedly month after month if they'd let him be a salesman. Finally they relented, I think just to pacify him, and not really thinking he'd do well. They told him they'd let him try it for a month or two, and then decide if he could stay in the position. He has consistently out sold the other guys....................and then last month he was promoted. He's now the boss to the guys who he had looked up to, and wanted so badly to work with..............and he's still going to school......chopping away at his degree a few classes at a time. So yeah, I'm pleased and proud.
Oldest son who has been gainfully employed since he was 16, and is one of the hardest working guys I know, and who was also recently promoted at his job, will be living with middle son and sharing living expenses. He is also helping with the down payment. They're best friends, and "share" many of the same friends. They work different shifts, which will leave them both with time alone and privacy. And since they're splitting living expenses they'll still be able to save money.
They both make me proud.
I've been lucky in hte kid department. (knock on wood)
