Grandparents Again!

Yes at 10:26AM our 7th grandchild was born. His name is Lucas, by emergency C section. 2 months early. We are leaving for Petaluma, early tomorrow to help or do what it is grandparents do do.

Fish pond disaster after our storms, but what the heck we are fixing, repairs now on hold.

My brain hurts and is not handling this well. Till next time.

God Bless You & This Country of Ours!
