What a day today was. Very emotional on many fronts. For starters, it was my due date with Jacob. We had some family and friends over to be with us as we planted the two clamatis vines in the back yard. Jeffy said some nice things. I really didn't say much of anything. Don't think I could have without breaking down. They look very nice. I'll post pictures when I can get a good shot without it raining.
It was also a little strange today because of the Pope's death. While I was alive when the last Pope died, I was just a baby, maybe a year old so I don't remember it. John Paul II has essentially been the Pope my entire life. He was a great man with a wonderful sense of humor - I remember at World Youth Day in Denver (1993) he messed up his own name! It was pretty funny and he laughed right along with the rest of us.
Off to Denver tomorrow for the week. Got a dress to get made for a friend's wedding in July (Hi, Suzanne!) Plus people to see, places to go, things to do. What a wonderful way to spend spring break! And the airfare is on United! (We got bumped at Thanksgiving so we each got a round-trip ticket for anywhere in the lower 48. I'm using mine this week.)
Ciao!
