Today is my sister Shelley’s birthday. On the day she was born I was at the hospital waiting for my mother to pick me up after I had a tonsillectomy. Instead my mother was busy having this little sister of mine. My mother didn’t come. My father picked me up and took me to my Aunt Betty’s for a week. A summer holiday with my favorite Aunt and cousins. What could be better for a 7 year old? And my sister has been giving me unexpected joy ever since.

Behind the gate of my back fence the ground hogs mysteriously appear every spring. They work together raising their family then disappear. The tag team duel ensure their young grow up.

The groundhog family has returned this year. I’ve seen the parents playing in the area near the tracks. Yesterday I actually saw 2 babies. And their father chased me away. LOL
Today is my husband’s birthday. I think we’ll go to Chuck’s and celebrate National Beef Burger Day, or maybe have some ribs and a beer 😉
Best remembered for his role in the Partridge Family, forever young, teenage idol…..
Today would have been my Grandmother’s Birthday. She was unique, and full of life. She loved a party and to dance. She broke the rules and did it her way. ❤

Yesterday’s ice storm covered the trees and ground mercilessly. Luckily the temperatures rose and the ice melted withing a few hours. Some lives were changed forever as road conditions lead to accidents and deaths locally.
