I Love Them Very Much
Meghann and Scott came home for the weekend. This was their first visit as a married couple. The Big Irishman even allowed them to sleep in the same bed. We spent hours chatting and catching up on all their latest. Scott is finishing his Doctorate very soon and then they will be spending some time in southern California. They have established a beautiful system of communication on all levels. Meghann is still very high-maintenance and Scott usually forgets to call when he’s going to be late, but they have figured out a way to make it all work. They live, love and even argue with great passion. I love them both very much. It’s sure quiet around here today. I hate it when my babies leave.
Katie and Henry celebrated their first anniversary this weekend. Can you believe it has already been a year. (When I think about how close I came to not being here for my daughter’s weddings, I nearly come unglued.) Several celebratory activities were planned for this anniversary. The culmination was A special dinner. Katie prepared squash soup, a wonderful rice medley and coconut-crusted scallops for dinner. She wore her wedding dress and veil to serve and eat this fabulous meal. They used their wedding china, crystal and silver. Henry was enthusiastic about the whole plan and was in charge of wine selection and pouring. They are another wonderful young couple, and I love them very much.
I also want to update you on the “Little Prince.” Patrick is working hard to complete his senior year. He has a new girlfriend - Virginia - who we will meet next weekend. He has a great group of friends and has made huge strides this past year. He is really turning out to be a wonderful man and I love him very much.
So as not to disappoint those who depend on me for political direction — I think the American people are finally starting to “GET IT.” They are tired of having an illiterate, wannabe cowboy running the country. (I hope I didn’t offend any real cowboys.) He isn’t making us safe, isn’t creating jobs, and isn’t making it any easier to pay for health care. The Republican leadership isn’t helping the situation at all - unless you’re rich, you have stock in oil companies, you love war, or you tolerate lies. People are also starting to understand that Bushie’s policies are being advanced because the congressional majority are enablers and rubber stampers. Things are about to change. There are gonna be some new kids in town.
