We interrupt this blog to celebrate some folks near & dear to me…August 9th has always been a celebration day for me…

It started when my little sister was born 29 years ago!

Happy Birthday REBEC!

(This picture was taken when she was in kindergarten…now she is a high school teacher who just started her 8th year of teaching…how time flies!) Yes, her name is really Rebecca – I’m the only one who has ever called her Rebec. Growing up we had normal sister skirmishes but now she is truly a dear friend!

 Several years ago, I added another notation to the celebration calendar…

Happy Anniversary Greg & Jen!

…and last year another birthday was added to the list… 

Happy 1st Birthday Miss Doodlebug!

Last year I had the joy of taking care of Miss Butterfly when her baby sister was born. As I told her that night once her Dad called with the “sister details” – it is a special thing to have a little sister born on August 9th!

…back to our regularly scheduled blogging shortly…
