And a very happy birthday, too -

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

Yes, birthday wishes go out to young (one-year-old) Calvin Greeley Williams of Millersville, Maryland. What a wonderful day he chose to be born (on our anniversary). Makes you think we might always remember his birthday … not my best skill for birthdays of other family members.

Four wonderful years!

No comments for now, please

Friday, June 1st, 2007

Good thing my little brother knows all about Internet stuff and has the ability to do this or that and get all the spam-comments off my blog. This blog has been infested with nasty ’spiders,’ and I’ve had enough. I’m asking Spike to shut off the comments-response for a few weeks so we can get […]
