I’m looking forward to two of our grandsons graduating high school in May, and they want a combined open house at our farm.

Also our daughter’s wedding (2nd) on September 17.

Also our oldest granddaughter’s wedding September 29. I get to be a “flower granny” in the wedding. And DH is to be the officiant

Good health. Everything else is secondary to that.

Considering that 2022 has been a horrible year (and it's not over yet), I'm just hoping for a peaceful, predictable 2023.

Good health and the opportunity to live our lives the way we would like to live them. Instead of everyday being controlled by my mother-in-law and my husband’s siblings who always need something. It never ends!

 

[Pea-n-Me]

World peace.

My family is going on our first Disney cruise in April! August 2023 my daughter will start her sophomore year of college, hopefully with the RA spot that she wants. I'm also excited that the travel agency I opened in April is doing our first group cruise in November.

Older daughter's college graduation and finding out where she's going to end up for grad school.

A normal/social 4H fair experience after one cancellation, one really scaled down fair, and one weird independent fair because our club didn't survive the pandemic shutdowns.

My first long solo road trip since becoming a mom 25 years ago.

And hopefully a return to Europe for a London do-over during my daughter's spring break (turns out the city isn't much fun during a record-breaking heat wave!), if DD14 can get away long enough.

what does open house have to do with graduating? Here an open house is when you are selling your home and they have an open house for people to walk through and look at it

looking forward to my daughters wedding and also being able to travel again for the first time in about 5 years (I was caregiver for my mom and she couldn't be left alone)

An open house is a kind of party. Guests can arrive any time during the hours of the party (say between 2 and 6). People come and go. Food and drinks are available (usually some kind of buffet).

Looking forward to start my own business next year.
My daughter will go to the kinder garden in May.
I am very excited to start working with the accounting services in Estonia as we are talking about that for a while and i rally believe it would save as a lot of cash.

 

[fla4fun]

A job, at last.

 

[tasha99]

Going back to work, probably. I'm still going to consider myself retired, and not go back to being a medical speech therapist, but it will be nice to get out of the house more. I'm thinking a part time grocery store type job, maybe. Hopefully four five hour days a week, to preserve 3 day weekends.

Also, going on a cruise. It's been too long.

High school graduation open houses have been popular here for many years. It is either held at your home or a venue (township hall, church basement, a park, etc.). Family and friend of the graduate are invited, usually the invites are included with the graduation announcement card. The parents of the graduate usually have a food buffet, and graduation cake. It usually runs 3-4 hours in the afternoon, or evening. Cards/money or gifts are generally given to the graduate.

As our two grandsons attend the same school and are very close friends it makes sense to have it here on our farm, since they have a lot of the same family and friends. I think the parents are planning a pig roast for it. Should be fun

First grandchild in March!

It is literally all I can think about!
