My Wish for You Today
But especially for my son-in-law James who is celebrating a birthday today.
He is the one who gave me this wonderful ink print years ago.
Framed! I keep it in the dining room on the mantel to remind myself to do just that.
So I’m posting it for him today as I wish him a great day. And a great new year! ❤️
10:10 on the Clock 11/20/1980
My friend V told me clocks and watches are frequently set at 10:10. I looked it up and she’s right. Aesthetically pleasing to the eye, not blocking logo on clock face, looks like the clock is smiling- yes there’s a lot out there about the 10:10 setting. Article from Mental Floss here.
November 20, 1980 was a snowy morning. We left home a little after 8 AM. The hospital in Clarion Pennsylvania was barely a block away from our house. It was beginning to snow.
I was told, “oooops baby isn’t in a good position so you could be here all day.”
Guess you heard that declaration, got into a good position, then everything happened fast? You decided you’d surprise us and not wait around for hours.
You were born at 10:10 AM.
My mom came out from Philadelphia to help. And the next day my dad showed up at the front door unexpectedly. He couldn’t stay home and not drive out the six hours to see you.
Looking at this photo of my mom holding you, I realize my mother (68) is just 5 years younger than I am now.
When we got home from the hospital there was a handmade wooden cradle in front of the fireplace, made with hand tools by our good friend Shuey. you could turn it over and it was a bench to sit on. Your big brother Mark was so excited to meet you.
Love to you on your birthday, Matthew.
Love, Ma

Twenty Two Year Old Ribbon for a Two Year Old’s Birthday
I bought this collection of curling ribbon a little more than 22 years ago. The occasion was when we were anticipating our eldest grandchild’s birth. Used it for the baby shower.
The party favors at the baby shower were sugar cookies in cutout animal shapes packed in a white paperboard Chinese food take-out container. I think we curled some ribbon on the metal handles. The red ribbon is low so I guess I used it at Christmas time and I don’t think I adorned those cookies with the red.
Tonight is the birthday Eve for the youngest grandchild’s second birthday tomorrow- November 3rd.
Blowing up balloons, a few streamers, a happy birthday banner in place at the mantel. Cake ingredients at room temperature.
It’s going to be a fun celebration.
Happy 22nd Birthday Anna
Anna is the first grandchild!
How I became a grandmother.
So proud of how hard she works and all oh her swimming and academic accomplishments.
She is beautiful inside and out. She’s just the best person you could ever know.
