Most Remiss in Writing - Will Catch Up Soon - April 13, 2012

I've been very delinquent with my blogging.  I came up to West Sacramento on

Tuesday evening because my son, Alex, and his wife, Laura, invited me to join

them for their ultrasound on the following day ( my first grandchild is due the

21st ).  There was a great shot of the baby's face.  The little one is now occupying 

most ofLaura's uterus!  He/she ( they don't want to know the sex till delivery - I've got

fingers crossed for a girl! ).  I was heading back to San Francisco today but it

seems like Laura started having contractions during the night.  Now, they are

just seven minutes apart so I will probably know soon - granddaughter or grandson.

Either way, I'll be joyful.  

I did have a really nice rendevous with one of my nursing school classmates,

Ann Sneed Sorrells of Charity Hospital School of Nursing, Class of 9-10-65

( it is so hard to believe that we started school FIFTY YEARS ago, before

the first heart transplant was ever done and right after the Salk polio vaccine

was invented! ). She and her husband have kept their home at Lake Tahoe

and visit several times a year.  Laura and I joined Ann for a late breakfast

at Tower Cafe in Sacramento.  It was a great reunion.

Back to blogging soon!!
