Waiting at Costco for gasoline. It’s drizzling, which is nice.

Why, you might be wondering, are we celebrating Charlotte’s birthday early?

Well, it’s because shortly after her actual birthday in June she will receive a really special present:

A BABY SISTER!!!

Congrats on the familial addition!

Thank you, DR George!

Wow! Dr Ginny, those kids have been busy! So both Charlotte and new baby are both born in June? 

Yep.  Charlotte’s birthday is in early June and the new baby is due later in June.

Hopefully, they won't be given one gift for the two of them.  At least they aren't twins, so it's much less likely.

That never even crossed my mind.  They might have a combined birthday party, but not gifts.

What a great story and ending from DR GINNY!

Congrats all around!

Thanks, DR JRand!  When I started the story, I didn’t know that was how I was going to end it.  I knew it was about time to spill the beans here, though.

I need to replace the fence that the previous neighbors kept running into while backing their BIG truck and BIG station wagon into their driveway.

I saw them do it - but the never approached me to tell me......

I like the part about "previous".

I'm up, I'm up - slept from four to six, up for two hours, then slept from eight to two, so eight hours of sleep.

I'd just awakened when the phone rang - Grant - so he came over  and hung the pictures, which look great.

Then I went to the mail place and picked up a small package, came home, ordered a salad from Stanley's, which is arriving momentarily, and now I must catch up on stuff, then I can watch, listen, and relax.

Starting to watch the Italian version of Nero Wolfe. It’s wonderful. Down to the orchids and the food.

The setup is a hoot. Apparently the FBI exiled Wolfe from the U.S. We’re never told the exact reason. All very hush hush.

My nephew Herman, the one who fell a week or two ago, gave his graduate degree recital on the French horn last night. It’s on Facebook.

I can’t watch all of it tonight. The first piece is by Bach.

DR TCB - since your friend was told to bring ham, did it occur to you that YOU might be the ham?   ;)


I was the ham!
