I got to hear the heartbeat yesterday. My sister and I went to her midwife appointment and I heard the strong heartbeat of my new niece/nephew. It was pretty exciting to hear it. I’m sure I was *beaming*.

If you are the type of person to send out thoughts or prayers, please keep my cousin’s daughter in your thoughts. She’s 8 years old and was recently flown from her home in Idaho to the children’s hospital in Salt Lake City. She started having seizures and now has blood clots in her brain. The seizures are sending new clots every hour. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

dryadsage commented yesterday about 25 cent ice cream cones. I was thinking about that. A favorite treat of ours, when we were kids, were the 15 cent cones from Thrifty’s. Man, those were the BEST!

She reminded me, too, of the green lockbox that my mom kept all of her financial information in, much like her mom’s green notebook. Everything was totaled to the penny and my mom knew what could be spent on groceries and bills. I remember one Christmas when we got a gift certificate to Albertson’s just so we could eat. That was our Christmas present. And I’ll tell you, it was well received.

I don’t mind my roots. I think they’ve made me appreciate the things I have in life. I also think they’ve made me the person that I am…and that’s not so bad.
