WE ARE PROUD TO ANNOUNCE...

Some time ago, Rebecca and Kevin presented Mary and me with a beautiful grandturtle. This past weekend, Rachel and Steve presented us with an equally beautiful grandpup. The turtle’s name is Turtle, and the puppy’s name is Ellie (apparently Eleanor is on the paperwork). There are pictures of Ellie posted on Rachel and Steve’s flickr site and those who are patient can find pictures of Turtle on Rebecca’s flickr site. For those who are contemplating the ongoing benefits of having children, I submit for your consideration those happy occasions of being blessed with grandpets.
