Tomorrow's the big day. Our daughter and son-in-law are arriving tomorrow with our granddaughter, Thyra Grayce. We are on the threshold of grandchild overdose.
It's amazing to contemplate how a three month old person who is only 22" long and weighs like 11 lbs. can dominate so many lives. I can assure you that as soon as they arrive all things important will cease to exist.
Christmas shopping?? It better be done, because once the baby shows up, that's it. I spent part of the day making vegetable beef stock for what I hope will be a delicious soup for tomorrow night.
Nothing else matters. Once the baby arrives it won't matter that the Christian right are now declaring that all environmentalists are threatening the world and hurting the poor.
It won't matter that Congressman Issa is about to go nuts on the Obama Administration for whatever he can. He'll spend the next two years and millions of our tax dollars on nothing more than a fishing expedition.
It won't matter that the Republicans have demonstrated breathtaking hypocracy on deficits and earmarks.
Nope, nothing really matters except a tiny person who can make her grandparents melt with a simple smile.
This blog is to give you folks a little better understanding of the world through the eyes of an old Vermonter. We do things differently here. We live differently. We think differently. Just like you.
