Finding time to write blog posts is becoming more difficult. I strive to write at least weekly, but lately I have fallen short of this goal.
Mother's Day and Graduation celebrations have occupied a lot of my time recently. Nothing makes me happier than to be with my family on special occasions.
My super son, JT, graduated with his MBA degree from Villanova University, right outside of Philadelphia, PA.
Here he is just before the ceremony.
Such a HAPPY guy!
Post-ceremony he posed with his girlfriend, Kaela.
His proud family!
We continued our celebration at Legal Seafood restaurant in King of Prussia.
HAPPY TIMES!!!
