Dear Ones, This has been a great day. It is Mary's one year birthday. I'm so proud of her and thankful that she has made it. It surely hasn't been easy. You wouldn't believe how many stumbling blocks have been trying to trip her along the way. What a wonderful independence day!!!! My recovery is coming along slowly. I cleaned out the fridge yesterday and it proved to be quite exhausting. I'm sure if I did it more regularly it wouldn't have been near the task. Katie, I can't believe your Danny. As much as everyone knew how I loved swimming in the ocean, I don't ever remember anyone offering to tend my kids so I could take a dip./ Each of your spouses is so wonderful. Well, I'm off to bed. Have a great day tomorrow.Love, Grandma.
