Happy Birthday, Aloise!




Is it possible she's 22?

Aloise, it was 22 yrs. ago, almost to the hour, that I knew I this would be the day of your birth. While I made a last grocery run, Dad called Granny and we were on our way to the hospital by 12:30. What amuses me to this day is that Dad took the opportunity of my being in labor to break every speed limit - including running stop signs and red lights. I expressed to him that my contractions were neither close enough not hard enough for him to be breaking the law. He turned to me laughing and replied, "You're in labor. It isn't every day I get to drive like this." Not much I could say to that!

Happy Birthday, dear girl.
