Here is my first grandchild. That darling little girl, Norah Lee, sitting by the patio door with Mugsy and Teddy when she was probably 18 months or thereabouts is now waiting with her husband Chad to have their own little girl or boy next summer! That means the Funoldhag is going to be a great grandmother! And, are you ready for this, the due date is August 21st - my 83rd birthday! I am pumped!! However, I will not hold them to that exact date, for sure, the little one can come when the little one is ready. But wouldn't it be wonderful to share my birthday? And, an added note, I had Norah's mom, Sherry, on my grandmother's, Maggie, 80th birthday. Sweet!! And, of course, that means that Sherry and Barclay are going to be grandma and grandpa - they will excel in their new roles! So will the two new aunties and Uncle Doug. In the picture, the monkey (in diapers) is Mugsy, a birthday present to Bill when he was two. He spotted the monkey when I had the kids in Ben Franklin's shopping. I put him on layaway for Bill's birthday (even $3.00 was a lot of money back then) and when we gave him to Bill he was so excited. How I wish there had been camcorders back then. Bill thought he was alive, I think. I kissed that monkey good night everynight when I kissed Bill and whispered in Bill's ear and Mugsy's ear also. Mugsy lives with great uncle Bill and great aunt Ann still. Teddy is Norah's little bear that was actually on a swing on a macrame hanger that I made for her room. That little bear became her security blanket, her best friend and constant companion. I'll bet she still has Teddy. I am excited!!!!!!!
