Be Awesome to-day

Rain----smoke-- about 20 C----  but----  WE ARE A PART OF TO_DAY---  It is the last week of school--Yeahhhhhh!-- I remember Mom took us out of school the last week of school and she took us all to the cottage, in Port Stanley---Mom said that we would not learn anything , even if we stayed in school, that week--that the report cards were already made up-- We felt pretty special----- I used to think that Mom knew everything, so I never ever questioned whatever she said--

Yesterday it was  Grand Daughter's family Birthday--Her Birthday is really to-day--

Here she is, holding her card from  us--The hat was a card---  This young Lady I used to rock to sleep, then carefully put her in the crib in the spare room-- I absolutely loved being able to  sing to her and rock her to sleep, in the spare room--the room which turned into a nursery--- a rocking chair--- a crib--- as the Grandchildren grew, the crib was replaced with bunk beds--and toys-

As the years went by,  the bunk beds  were replaced with a trundle bed-- It was so special to welcome every Grandchild---an honour for Himself and I to  have a second chance to get to know every child--

Now how on earth did I ever get onto all of that?------I suppose because, family Birthdays, a chance to recognize each new person as a member of  the family---seems like an act of God--

So----time to get the dogs out----in the rain--time to stop the daydreaming-and get on with this day----

Where ever yu are, I hope that your day will be awesome--
