Will tell all my friends my secret - but, don't you tell anyone until tomorrow. My first grandson called yesterday and told me that he and his little wife are 5 weeks pregnant. They are so happy. Tonight, he invited her parents, his parents, my sister and me to dinner to tell the rest. I am the first to know!!!!

I don't like to go out at night, but will make a big exception and meet them. It is a surprise for all but me. I have ordered a little boy - need to keep the family name going. I have four grandsons, but only two married so far.

Today is cloudy again and a bit dreary, but pleasant. MY fruit trees are loaded with small blossoms. They aren't very large, but are loaded. I have fig, lemon, two kinds of oranges, and a grape-fruit. Just hope the birds don't knock them off before they make fruit. Last year I had 3 each of lemon, grapefruit, and orange. Maybe my crop will be larger this year.

Had an ear re-pierced yesterday. It had been infected and grew together. Now, I have to wear these ugly little imitation diamonds for 6 weeks. At this point they are very shiny and catch your eye. Ha!!

Slipped up this morning and overslept. I have been trying to get up at seven and get my life in some kind of a routine, but today it was 8:05.

Take care all you friends,
Nena
