Lots of clapping (no knitting)
Ai won a $1,000 scholarship from a local organization. She wasn't expecting it and is very surprised and happy. I'm pleased as punch and very proud!
My only knitting was at lunch-time yesterday -- an orange sherbet bunny ear.

I have been reading your posts about quitting smoking and have been inspired to quit also. Last night at 9:15 I had what (I hope) is my last cigarette. I am going truly Cold Turkey - no patch or other aids. Thank You for sharing your journey.

Yay Ali!
Not a lot of knitting going on here this week either. All the end of the school year activities can be crazy!
