Today we are celebrating her dad's birthday. Tomorrow he is 42. It's hard to believe this much time has passed since his birth in 1980. The world was a different place. His arrival profoundly changed our lives for the better. His coming was a joyous event. The first Christmas was a tough one however. The boy had colic and was inconsolable thru the the day and night. We all paced the floor with him. Gradually that changed and he became a chipper toddler. After some angst ridden teenage years complete with piercings and purple hair, he as become a fine man and father. I love and admire him very much.
It's a Shannon day and brutally cold outside. It should come as no surprise considering where we live. But still......I feel like I have again felt the Michigan slap across my face. At least we aren't in Buffalo. Andrew and his kids will be here today along with Katey. Judy will take the obligatory photo of the birthday boy blowing out his candles.
Shannon had her visit with her pal Dick Dickman this afternoon watching Mickey Mouse Club House. Both of them are thrilled with the visit. They are both uplifting to each other.
Well, that's it.
stay warm
and safe
all for now
