Hi everyone,

This isn't exactly writing related but yesterday at 2:54 PM my sixth grandchild arrived three weeks early. His name is Samuel William Clark, weighed in at 7 pounds 6 ounces, and is 19" long.We, gladly, took a four hour detour on our return from a family gathering in North Carolina to see the newest addition to my family. He and his mother are doing well and I look forward to more experience with demonstrating my grandparenting philosophy. I told little Samuel to remember the words, "...but Grandpa lets me do it ..."

I had planned to write when I returned from our trip, but since we arrived at 11 PM and not 7:00 PM, I went to bed instead.

Bursting with pride and joy
