olympic hero wants my birthday to be special

another 30 days will make a huge difference

The trees around the barndo are starting to bud and I couldn't be happier. It won't be long until all those naked trees are again covered with leaves. Rain and more rain... We've had so much rain lately that water is standing about everywhere. Sure, April showers...

Yesterday was my Nanny's birthday. Born 1/27/2011, she saw a whole lot of the world's changes before her death, 8/26/2009. I sure do miss her. ❤️ She was sweet. Every year I post a photo of her on Facebook on her birthday. Almost every single comment says she was...
