Dammit, you guys did it to me again. You put your birthday exactly one day after Elaine's last year, too. Happy birthday, my friend!

Thanks folks. So busy with new granddaughter, Madelyn Rose, born April 30, buying week 28 at CDM to use next year and planning trip to Playa Del Carmen for July 1, that I haven't been posting.

Happy Birthday to the original Yum Yum, Elaine!

As to the writing... yes, but not recently. "Labrador Tales" won the Maxwell Medallion a few years ago. All money to animal charities. If I retire from teaching next year, perhaps I will get back to chasing the Muse.

Thanks again folks!

Thank you kiddo. And my heart hurts for you and Murray! So sad that our favorite place could have any negative impact on people who work so hard. It just goes to show that the perfect Garden of Eden was long ago.

Thank you! She is a dream. Since they live only one street away, we see her all the time.

Maddie is Jaime's baby. She is our younger daughter. Julia is Cory's baby. Cory is our oldest. It really is an amazing feeling!!
