Happy News
The most recent past news in the Ostapovitch family, which hasn't been all that recent, and there hasn't been much of it, hasn't been happy news. After the birth of our 2 children, there was a death, a divorce and in the past year and a half, two more deaths. Of course, there have been little things here and there, ups and downs. But for big, earth shattering news, we needed something happy, and last night we got it! Stephen proposed to Brenda! She sounded so happy, and I am so excited for her/them, it brought tears to my eyes!
On another note, Kaitlynn went to school despite having an upset tummy and she powered through the day. She wasn't sure she could handle the bus ride home, but she made it. Barely. She's backed up with homework, but she should have no problem catching up this weekend, even though we have my family's Christmas party tomorrow.
I felt like getting out of the house this morning, but I was second guessing my needs, so Todd made me an offer I couldn't refuse and took me out for lunch. We enjoyed soup, sandwiches, mochas and dessert at "Sweet Wanderings."
We had planned on having pizza for our dinner tonight, but before heading into Yorkton, we stopped to get the mail and we had received a parcel from Mark. I wondered if he had remembered my request for Applewood Smoked Cheese and Bacon Jam back in November, and yes, yes he did! And so our plans for dinner have changed and it will be cheese, crackers, sausage and such, and so much easier than pizza. We have the "Batman VS Superman" movies lined up which I'm really not overly excited about, but I know everyone else is, so be it.
Last night's sunset was very pretty. Really, they always are when there are scattered clouds. But with the lack of color in the winter, skies get all the attention.
Oh, and back to the parcel, the wrap job made us giggle. Oy! I'm glad those little jars survived the long, rough tumble through the mail. What's really cute is that he reused the paper I sent his parcel in, and even cut out the return address I had written on it and taped it to this one. Industrious, I suppose.
