19th entry of GST

1. Watching Judy (our receptionist) get tickets to see Il Divo - she loves them and would never buy tickets because they are too expensive.  So we all pitched it and gave her and her hubsand tickets to see them.  They have been serving at VCS for years and years...she was soo excited, she jumped in the air for a bit! :D  Soooo precious!
2.  A bucket of apples
3.  Getting a massage from a friend
4.  Finding my favorite kind of wheat bread at the store - they hadn't been carrying it for a while now!
5.  An early birthday card from Harvest Partner Women :)  Thank you!!!!!

PS Strike the spring comment from yesterday ... today we had HUGE flakes of snowing flurrying down and not just once today, but several different times.  It was crazy!  It was like cotton candy flying from the sky....
