Once More With Feeling

It's happened again; I'm not sure how it keeps happening. I think it has something to do with the Earth rotating on its axis and my opening my eyes each morning. Thank God!

I share this day with the Earth, well actually the Earth shares the day with me. It didn't get its day until 1970, I got mine a bit earlier. And contrary to what my children think, I am not older than dirt. The Earth now gets a whole week, a day wasn't enough. I am content with the day.

A few years ago Janice Brown at Cow Hampshire told me that this is "Ancestor's Eve," its designation thanks to Neelix of Star Trek Voyager. I love having been born on Ancestor's Eve. Rather appropriate don't you think? And I'm really glad to have Janice back.

So today I opened my eyes to Mr. Maven, Zoe, and Hunter singing "Happy Birthday" accompanied by a duck call. Now that's worth opening your eyes and ears for.


I'm off to hit my two favorite antiques stores and to buy new software (there's no tax in Montana and that saves a bundle). Then I get to have dinner with some of my children and all of my grandchildren. It's going to be a wonderful day.
