Good times.

Good news from Aiken Regional hospital. My wisp of a DIL just gave birth to a 9 lb 1 oz. baby boy named Daniel Michael. Curly headed, strawberry blonde. Since they already have 2 boys and 2 girls, it is nice that he now has a real name, rather than “Tie Breaker”! So that makes 4 granddaughters and 8 grandsons for us. And 4 males to carry on the last name. It’s a good thing that they induced her because she’s just a tiny little girl. I can’t believe she had a 9 lb baby!

Now, if can can just get some good news about my husband....

The fact that Obama’s gregarious
Obscures his agenda, nefarious
He’s happy and gay
While he takes rights away
A contradiction he must find hilarious

There’s a hospital in Pittsburgh on Aiken street, which I always found mildly amusing.

What do you do when atheists sue to make you remove your nativity?

Park it.

The doctor just called. My husband did fine through the surgery. THe gall bladder was massively inflamed so it NEEDED to come out. Everything else looked fine. He’s gone to recovery and will be back in his room about 10:00 AM. So, I have to get my rear in gear and get over to the hospital. Thanks to all for helping me to suffer through this waiting.

the comment is so true. how sad must your life be if a nativity scene makes you apoplectic.
