Celebration - #1 - Last Post I shared about my brother's birthday which we celebrated at a Japanese restaurant. His actual birthday was on Saturday, and so we had another celebratory meal which is a favorite of our whole family -- curry. The first collage is of our special meal on Saturday. 
Celebration - #2 - On Monday, I took my Mom to our dentist for her initial visit since she moved from IL to OH to be with us. Our dentist and the hygienist were pleased with Mom's excellent teeth. At almost 90, Mom has more teeth ... and all originals ... than anyone else in our three generation home! After leaving the dentist office she wanted to go to Dairy Queen for a Peanut Buster Parfait! I on the other hand had a low-calorie pinya-collada smoothie (suitable since I didn't inherit her great teeth)!

Celebration - #3 - Our granddaughter has been continuing to earn one belt after another in karate, very rapidly. We have been to a couple of her sessions where she displayed her talents along with the rest of her class, and then got her new belt. Currently she has a red belt (which is just under the black belt categories). Our daughter-in-law keeps us up to date with pictures and stories on Facebook. This next picture is one that I got from Facebook, along with the caption that her mom put with it: "Tristen is in the leadership program now so she gets to help with Brogan's class. He's the little guy on the left kicking."
Celebration - #4 - Our son Shaun's wife Melissa put this up on Facebook. (He had already called us to share his good news, but it was so sweet to see his wife's proud words. She deserves some of that credit along with him -- for "holding down the fort!" Her words: "It's officially official folks. My hard-working husband Shaun Justice finished his last quarter for his bachelors & will be graduating with a 4.0!!! Not bad considering he's been chipping away at it while going through his 2nd & 3rd deployments, buying a house/moving, 2 more babies, studying for/passing multiple computer certs, me going through radiography school, 4 career changes, countless Army schools, day/night shift changes, advances in his military career, & being a husband/dad & provider. He missed his 1st graduation bc of his 1st deployment & got his degree in the mail. He finally gets to celebrate his hard work & wear a cap & gown & I couldn't be happier for him. So proud of you babe! Congrats!—feeling proud."
Celebration - #5 - Our flowers are gorgeous! I've been having trouble with my back for the past couple of weeks, and so haven't been able to water them or weed or anything! But God has sent lots of rain and sunshine to take care of them! -- Psalm 147:7-8 -- "Celebrate and sing! Play your harps for the Lord our God. He fills the sky with clouds and sends rain to the earth, so that the hills will be green with grass." 


I hope all of you my friend find things to celebrate in your lives each day!
