My Dad's Birthday

My dad was born on March 2nd, I know that NOW. I was always getting it wrong when he was alive, I am not going to start getting it right now.

Today I will be celebrating his birthday. Siobhan has been missing her Grandpa a lot so I think, (I say this now) we are going to make a cake. My dad LOVED cake. No, you don't understand, he LOVED cake!

I thought this might help her, not to mention, ya know we get to eat cake.

Happy Birthday Daddy! I miss you more than I could possible ever imagine. For everyone else, remember to tell people you love them. They really won't be here forever. Tomorrow may never come.

rain

We have been getting quite a bit of rain here lately and I have to say I like it. I like it raining. I like it wet. I don't think I am ready for Seattle or anything ( and yes Marna, it rains ALL the time there) but I like the rain.

I hear people say over and over, I am sick of the rain. Really? We live in the desert. Have you forgotten there is a drought? We actually have to have water in order to live. you know that?

I like being at home, all cozy with a fire and a good book or a movie. All of us together. Of course the joy to living in So Cal is one day it is stormy and the next beautiful weather with the kids running around outside in shorts.

I get excited when I hear it is going to rain. Although most of the time they are wrong anyway, but keep it coming!
