In November I went to Ohio to be with Alicia and
Tharon for the arrival of baby Dakota. Leaving
86 degrees to be plunged into 28 degree coldness
was a bit of a shock for this desert rat. Upon arriving,
I found myself dealing with a cold and flu. Luckily,
Dakota decided he better wait until Grandma
was feeling better; so after being induced,
he arrived at 5:24 pm on Nov. 25.
I was able to spend five days at home
with the little family before jetting off
for warm weather again. I am sure
I could have stayed longer, but food was
running out at home and Dad and
Mark were missing me.
