Leap day baby

I was supposed to go to a baby shower tomorrow – for my sister in law.  Her due date is March 22.  But I got a phone call that the shower has been cancelled because she “is having the baby NOW!”

I haven’t heard yet if baby & mom are ok, I hope they are.  A leap day baby in the family, how cool is that?

Happy Birthday C

Another birthday! So soon? We just celebrated one!

Oh yes, my oldest son is turning 26 today! We are glad he is here at home while finishing up his post graduate work, and we’ll have a special dinner with cake when he gets back from class tonight.

Happy Birthday to my #1 Son!

Happy Birthday J

First of all, I am not old enough to have two sons in their 20′s. Well maybe physically I am, but mentally, NO! I am NOT ready to be a Grandma yet. I may be semi-retired, but I’m young at heart!

So after that little disclaimer above, I want to take this moment to wish my youngest son a very happy birthday. He’s off at college, but I’m sure he will be out celebrating with his friends tonight. Be safe, dear son, but have lots of fun! I love you lots!

Dead skunks – a sign of spring!

Well, I guess spring is here, whether the groundhog said it would be here or not!  The roads are littered with dead skunks, having just come out of hibernation.  Poor little critters are out looking for some food, minding their own business and whammo!  I guess they think that just because they smell so bad that they are invincible!

Is it getting nasty already?

Well, the gloves seem to be coming off.  Mc Cain in a scandal with a female lobbyist.  Clinton accusing Obama of dirty politics.

I will be SO GLAD when the presidential race is OVER!
