Alexa Faith Sherr

On the 92nd day of 2019 there is no question about the object of my gratitude: ALEXA FAITH SHERR.  4/2/19 is her 17th birthday.  We took her out of school to her driving test (PASS).  We took goodies to softball practice (at the end) and the team sang her Happy Birthday.  And, then, a nice family dinner, another homemade cake (thanks mom!!), and a great evening.  As I stated in my AM post, Alexa's birth made me a parent and changed my life forever.  She has my gratitude every day but, today, she has most of it all day and night!

My prayer of care today is also for Alexa.  She is now a licensed driver and I will be praying for her safety each and every time she is on the road.

My prayer for someone with whom I have a disagreement is the DC fans of the Washington Nationals.  I know they are upset that their former player chose to come to the Phillies, but some of their signs were downright mean (albeit maybe clever) and they need to get over it.  I was mad when our player left Phila. for DC as well, but it's time to move on!

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)

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.
