Monday

I've decided I need to have at least one birthday a week.  Thank you for my song, Kasey!  Love you!

When I was teaching, this was one of my favorite things to ask kindergartners, "What do you want to be when you grow up?"  Little boys usually wanted to be a fireman, or a policeman, and a lot of them wanted to be what their fathers were.  One little boy wanted to be an emperor.  I wonder where he is today?

And of course a favorite of little girls was to be a ballerina, or a mommy.  One little girl said she wanted to be me, and one said she wanted to be a ribbon.  I think she did grow up to be a ribbon.

Tracy called me yesterday, but I wasn't by the phone.  Sister-in-law Alice called.  I think they were right on the border between Nevada and Arizona, and she was having a hard time keeping her time straight.  Arizona doesn't have daylight savings time.  She was getting ready to go to a casino where she was one of the finalists in a slot machine tournement. ?????

And later yesterday afternoon, Leslie (stepdaughter) called.  Nice day!
