Cinco de mayo 2006.......

..........arrival date of our newest grandchild.....!

A & M expecting #2. Announcing.... we were waiting for the first trimester to proceed successfully. A is doing ok.
tonight we will visit them while the parents attend a neighborhood chili cook-off.
we can't leave rocky too long ...there is the option of paying the pet-nanny- we did that last weekend.
Our weather has been outrageously beautiful- Fall colors just beginning- it hasn't been cold enough for a big blast of color.
I have been enjoying JL's blog and 'waiting' for more news from JGW........
I continue my study of Joyce's Ulysses. Just bought a pre-owned paperback edition of Gifford's annotations.
Spartans vs Buckeyes today.
I am so happy we have our Red Wings back in action.
Watching them play in LA a couple of years ago was such a thrill. ( The Wings lost and the LA fans were extremely rude- but it was my 2nd live experience, and I loved it )
The other plus about attending a Hockey game in los angeles @ the Staples: when you leave the arena - it is NOT freezing cold outside! We were able to walk back to our hotel- so different from events here in Day twah.
Well- no, I am not at all looking fwd to the awful cold coming our way- one of these years we will be able to escape. Our neighbors Don and Chloe go off to their property in FL every December- returning in April. Good planning on their part. Don is retired- & had 2 hip surgeries over the past 2 years.....but he is doing fine .
ThyCa,inc the thyroid cancer survivor association is holding it's 8th Annual Conference in Denver this coming weekend.
www.thyca.org I would like to plan to go to Orlando next October- for the 9th;
every 3 year attendance seems reasonable.
We will be in Buffalo for the 26th August wedding of sweet Erika C. to Joe.
I guess I need an extra large 2006 calendar to begin planning for a few gatherings.
Would like to get Bflo family here for a 2005 holiday event ... we shall see...
ok- now we have to find Santa's list and begin gathering for the gift exchange traditionally set for Dec 25 in the US and January 3rd or 6th in the rest of the world..of course then there is Boxing Day in Canada and the UK- 12/26.
The tragic news from around the world has been bearing down - thank goodness for Mark M at the SF -gate site who is able to put it all into words for us.
His conclusion- the Universe is full of unpredictable behavior..
enjoy your day
