All kinds of neat goings on . . .

White-throated Sparrow - only seen here in Winter

A little after mid-night on the 18th Baby Carlos was born. He's a beautiful baby boy and joins his cousins Carleigh and Taylor as the apples of their eyes. Whose eyes? Our southern family's eyes. It's pretty darned sweet to have three little ones in the family as Kiddo is already 10 years old. Hope I get a chance to hold Carlito before he gets too big to be held. Such peace, warmth, comfort and pleasure to hold a baby in your arms.

Just a while ago Oneco friends bearing gifts arrived at our door. With the homemade cookies, always the very best in the whole wide world, and dark chocolates from Sanborn's, was a beautiful tray. The  design was counted cross stitch Spring flowers which S. made. It's beautiful and I have leaned it up on the little bookcase by Grampa' chair in the living room. It's just perfect. We'll be joining them for dinner this evening at Twin Oaks. Looking forward to a Black Russian and escargots; whatever else I have will be just dandy as being out with friends is always a great relaxing time.

Kiddo came for his Frication and gave me a concert on his brand new saxophone. He's playing well. Last Friday's chorus and band concert were the best ever. I can only expect them to keep improving. Something to look forward to.
