It’s double nickels for me today! I was born in 19-double nickels and am double nickels in twenty-ten…might go get a lottery ticket :)!

Thanks to all who sent cards, emails, comments and a special thank you to Regis from Belgium who surprised me mightily with a box of Belgian chocolate (Godiva!).

I had no idea when I started this blog to keep friends and family apprised of my life and as a venue for some writing that people from all over, not only the U.S., but the world, would be interested in seeing what goes on in my corner of it. The friendships, connections and sharing of thoughts and memories make the differences less and the sense of community greater.

Cheers to all!
