I won the Baby-Pool!! 10-10-10 was THE day! The day I became a grandmother. The day my heart skipped a beat.

Gasp! Can you IMAGINE?! Some shudder the thought. But it’s true. It really happened to us folks over 30. A dear friend of mine sent this to me because he KNOWS my sense of humor and KNEW that I’d get a kick out of this. I hope you do [...]
