Seems like ages since I've written. Was it only yesterday morning? I'll catch up in the morning with birthday pictures. Wow...14 years ago at this time I was in labor. Emily asked me what I was doing. I told her I was probably filing my nails. I did do that. With the epidural, I could do anything.
I have the perfect job for me. I choose to be a happy person. I have a 23
year old daughter, a mostly local family and some great friends. I live in a sun-filled home that I love. I love to learn. I'm easy to please. I'm not always what I seem.
