I was in the hospital last Halloween....

......not because I was sick, but because I got to watch my first grand daughter being born!

Since the day was Halloween the family joke goes like this: "It was a baby ghoul". But let me tell you, she is anything but ghoulish. In fact, she is, in my very biased opinion, one of the most beautiful babies I have ever seen!! (or have the privelege of being related to) My son and his wife did a pretty nice job! Thanks you two :)

I can't believe this little punkin will be a ONE YEAR old on October 31. Time has just flown!!

So in honor of Harper's birthday, I am sharing this video made by her mom's cousin Sammy. You can see what changes can happen in a little person in just one short year. And her birth has made a change in the rest of us forever.

I Love you Harper!!

My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown

(singing): "Ah, ah...oh no, don't let the rain come down. My roof's got a hole in it and I might drown. Oh yes, my roof's got a hole in it and I might drown."

Do you remember this song? I am not sure who composed it, but I remember it being sung by the Serendipity Singers. I think an all guy group sang it, too. (Man, am I dating myself)

I've had this song stuck in my head since yesterday when I walked into the kitchen to turn off the tea kettle and felt a drop of water land on the top of my head. It had been raining most of the day, but not indoors! As I glanced up at the ceiling I could see where water had saturated a small area of the taping up there and was beginning to drip down. This is when it pays to be a renter. LOL!

The roofer will be here this morning to look over the problem and get started on correcting it. Meanwhile, I am recalling my 60's childhood and humming along to the tune ..."ah, ah. Oh no, don't let the rain come down..."

Another year older

It was my birthday this past weekend. Now that I am another year OLDER, I have been giving some thought to what my credo should be this year. I think I will adopt the following.

Learn from the past,

prepare for the future,

but live in today.

'Cause if you don't live in today,

you'll have a lot of empty

yesterdays tomorrow.
