"OH WHAT A WONDERFUL FEELING,"

     The sound of little feet tip toeing through the hall way, the giggles of the older ones as they persue the little ones. The TV is on but muted, the radio softly plays another country song. The snacks are going good, too good for me! Gotta slow down on the brews. Switch to water. FAMILY IS TOETHER!

                                                            " OH WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY,"

     Computer is out-skyping with Florida family-each in turn says hello and we miss ya! Smiles both ways as the children greet each other over long distance- technology is the 8th wonder of the world! It is warm outside and hot inside. February 18th and windows go open! Go away winter-hello spring!

                                                           "OH WHAT A WONDERFUL LIFE,"

     Loud laughter comes from the kitchen- soon to be followed even louder from the dining room! Everyone comes running into the room to see what is going on and what is so funny! THE JOKES ON THEM-serve them right to miss out on the fun! Next time- for there will be a next time-laughter will be all for one and one for all!

                                                          "EVERYTHING IS GOING OUR WAY!"

       Family-together-celebrating life-the times like this are golden-pass the bread-spoon out the fruit-dip the chip-slice the pizza-cukes-tomatos-lettuce please, uncork the wine, open a coors light-slice the lime please, my Corona needs one. Nathan wheres your wallet? Oh Jimmy Hoffa's in your trunk! Plase don't throw the ball in the house-pass the cake- blow out the candles-sing to GiGi-madison -OH ITS TIME TO GO. Find the shoes-where's your jacket-Have we got everything-Marcus already left with the babies-Tammy riding with Debby-Grandma making the rounds-one by one they leave-grandma still making the rounds-last one out the door-AND THERE STANDS GIGI- no one left to say good bye to-fitting-as it is the rason why we celebrated. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BARB-82 years young and without her-there would be no grandkids-no children -no great grandkids-no spouses-not even a figment of your immagination-NO REASON TO CELEBRATE-NO FAMILY!

    "OH WHAT A WONDERFUL FEELING-OH WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY-OH WHAT A WONDERFUL LIFE-EVERYTHINGS GOING OUR WAY!"
