80's on 8 in the AM

Frequent readers of my posts will note that I really am fond of music.  And it's true, I like many genres of music from a span of times and there are few that I really do not like 100%.  But, my all-time favorite genre is music from the 80s and that is, on Day 2 of 2019, what I am extremely grateful for.  On 1/2/19, I returned to work after a loooong layoff (one of the longest, and least work-filled in recent memory).  So it was a bit of a shock to have to be up and out of the house early today.  As I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and got on the road and over to Phila., I encountered awful traffic (accident, construction, volume, etc) as I approached campus.  But, I was lucky (2013 theme alert!) and thankful (2019!) to have 80s on 8 on the radio.  The songs that were playing pepped me up, made me sing, and eased the pain of the commute (my excellent alternative route through my old neighborhood did not hurt either!)  My gratitude today is for music's healing and restorative power and the excellent song choices on 80s on 8 this morning.  May you all find happiness in the soundtracks of your own lives!

Our Family Movie Night to Knives Out!

12/26/19, the 2nd Day of Christmas, and we made it into a Family Movie Night.  On the 360th day of 2019, we went and saw Knives Out! and it was FANTASTIC.  It was a great time out as a family and the movie was as good as advertised (+97% on Rotten Tomatoes).   It just made us all very happy and, because of that, I am grateful for our family movie night to Knives Out!  We have 2-3 more movies we want to see over break, and this was a fine start!

80s Movies

During the Winter Break, we always have a lot of Family Movie Nights.  The 362nd day of 2019 was no different.  But, on 12/28/19, we found 80s movies on the On Demand.  Tonight's selections were Die Hard and St. Elmo's Fire.  CLASSICS!  So happy to be able to share my teenaged movie favorites with my teenager.  I am grateful for 80's movies and the nostalgia they bring up, and the fact that my teen likes them as much as I did/do!

Egg Casserole (from 12/27)

Image
So the 361st day of 2019 brought another Sherr Family Tradition. On 12/27/19,  Sarah  made us the egg casserole recipe that I got from  Beth Hagovsky , a colleague from "the good old days" in Penn Student Affairs. I love the recipe, it is ALWAYS good, and it makes me also remember the community we had way back then, that we still have, occasionally, when we get together, and also as FB friends. The best part about working at Penn has been all of the wonderful people I have met, and this recipe makes me think of them (and, as I said, it is SO GOOD!)  :-)  So, tonight, my gratitude is for Egg Casserole. And the happiness, on so many levels, it provided today.
