On the seventh day God rested. His grandchildren must have been out of town. ~Gene Perret

.....Well, it's happening; something I never expected to experience.  And why did I never expect it?  Because none of my grandchildren is married, although I believe they do have significant others.  I just tend to be somewhat old fashioned thinking that you have to marry before you procreate.  But evidently the generations that followed mine have not gone for that nonsense.  And so, Katrina--Bobby's daughter who is in the US Navy--is pregnant.  I'm going to be a great grandpa to a little boy named "Houston".  I don't know if that will be the spelling.  I know it's a boy because Bobby sent me a copy of the sonogram--or whatever you call it.  It was a baby in there all right; except that I don't know how anyone could tell that it is a boy.  Now, I really feel like a patriarch.  I'm happy that we will have another member in the family, although his name will not be Ross and I doubt very much that I will ever  get to see him--except through Bobby's pictures.

.....Now after the excitement my readers have experienced in the first paragraph of this blog, I must change the subject since I don't know what else I can say about Katrina's pregnancy.  Except for the fact that one of my children is going to be a grandfather.  So, what does that make me?  Methuselah?  Well, this is Spring and "Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote the droght of March hath perced to the roote," it causes everything to grow and so there is "Houston".  As for me, I have to be blessed that during the month of April I have grown so well, that I have only one doctor's appointment this month.  Imagine that.  That's something else that I never expected to experience.  I'll have a lot of time to stay in the house and do something; I haven't decided what it is that I will do.  I have my car, and I can drive but where and when I don't know.  I'm using a cane now, but if I go to the mall, I will have to use the scooter, because I cannot walk more than 100 yds. with the cane.  RH+ and I are planning to pay Robin a visit at the end of this month, so we will have to use my '99 Malibu instead of her '08 one because I will probably have to bring the scooter, and the lift for it is installed on my car.  We will be in Tallahassee for two days and then come home or go on to a casino hotel in Biloxie.
