Happy Birthday, Alane! The card is on the way, perhaps even there today. We are thinking of you here in Groveland and hope that you have a wonderful year ahead of you. Best wishes to you all.


In another completely different direction, Vito is enjoying his bicycle and learning to shift gears. He has made it to the end of the block and back up our little hill three times now. He is building his endurance. I am thinking we should get him spandex bicycle shorts?


And in yet another mental direction, Halloween is on it's way even though the palm trees don't show fall colors. We will be lighting up the house this weekend. Bet we are the only ones in the whole neighborhood that glow with black lights. . .
