MELLY IS NOW A MOM!
Well, what exciting news when we heard that Melly has had a baby girl!
Her name is Ava Michelle and she weighed 8lb.3oz. and was born at 6:03 p.m. on August 9th.
So now everyone has to move up a notch--I now become Great Grandma--yoo!hoo! Alll the family become Great Aunts and Great Uncles and C.J. is now an uncle!! The cousins will now have a second cousin!! This is becoming hard to track!
I know we all hope Melly will be happy and able to make a life for herself and her baby. I don't know if she has a steady boy friend or not.
Shelby and I are going to Winnipeg on Aug. 22nd for our regular check-ups and hope to find out Melly's address from Bob and Daisy (Patti's parents) as we see them today at the BarBQ for Cary (birthday) and C.J. (going away to university)
Life sure has some twists and turns but this year they are happier then usual!
guinevere and Allen (see link on Guin's blog) are sure enjoying life in the fast lane-except for the smog!
Last Tuesday was the Senior Women's Open golf tournament--18 holes! It just about did me in! Thankfully it had cooled off a bit from the day before but we drank lots of water, wore sunhats and slapped on sunscreen! I came in 4th in the 4th flight and won $10!! Wow! I was so surprised! They had a nice buffet lunch afterwards.
Shelby is looking forward to her trip to visit Sally in September and has been saving up every penny!!
Scientists have discovered previously unknown species living deep under the Arctic ice. They burrowed through ice ranging from 1 M to 20 M thick . They discovered new species of jellfish, bristle worms, squid, octopus and two species of sand flea-like crustaceans. The voyage was part of a 10 year mission aiming to catalogue life undersea the world oceans. See ice world Hope the link works!
Did anyone check out my link to Krispy Kreme doughnuts the other week!
News! A new planet larger than Pluto has been reported. It was discovered using the Samuel Oschin Telescope at the Palomar Observatory. Its location is 97 times the distance between the sun and Earth.
Amazing!
A very good classic movie is the 1973 "Papillon" with Dustin Hoffman and Steve McQueen. Watch it if you've never seen it! It's based on Henri Charriere's memoirs of the prison on Devil's Island in French Guyane. The conditions were very harrowing
Time for a lunch break and a rest! Temp. today is around 20 and humid.
love to all! Mom xoxo Grandma xoxoxo Great Grandma xoxo I think this is too long so you can just call me G.G.!!! (As in the govenor general--ha!ha!)
P.S. the link to Ice World looks as though it works OK just click on the census part and have a look!
