A Beautiful Winter Day

Today was beautiful, still quite chilly, but it's so nice to see the sun again, of course, it is winter, after all. But here in the deep South, we tend to reach for shorts when we see the sun. Usually we can get by wearing shorts and tee shirts nearly half the year, one of the perks of being below the Mason/Dixon line, where we say y'all and drink plenty of sweet tea. Ah yes, sweet tea, the champagne of the South, you gotta love it!!

Today is also my grandson, Jack's birthday. Mr. Jack is nine today, how can it be? Growing up too fast, but this Gram can find some solace in that soon she will have grandchild number eight in her arms to rock and love on. Baby Amelia Dale will be here in a couple of weeks now, and I can hardly wait to meet her. It will be an exciting time for the whole family, especially for her two big brothers. They don't know things are about to change in their world.

Listening to Sirius radio, only the best thing ever invented. Golden oldies right at my fingertips any time of the day or night I can crank it up and dance till my heart's content. Yes, I'm Gram, but there's a fifteen year old girl still living somewhere in this sixty year old body. It's one of the mysteries of life. Some things never change, and that's not a bad thing, in fact.. if you ask me, it's really pretty cool.
