His mother was my identical twin, so he is MORE than a nephew to me.
And he was (is) the first grandchild of my parents (and his other grandparents), so he is and always has been someone super special.

I'll close with these two...
WE LOVE YOU, CAP!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Growing up, I was really jealous of my best friend. His grandmother
lived in a two story house which he went over to visit quite often.
My grandmother lived in a one story house.
The only story I ever heard was "The Little Engine That Could”.
That is all for today.
I hope you smiled.
There's this... - the Youtube video...
I have tried and tried to put it (the YouTube video) on this blog post - to no avail. 😟
Well, click HERE to hopefully go to the YouTube site.
Here it is (just the picture).
I am so frustrated that you can't go directly to it.
Maybe I'll try again (and again) to let you see it.
Our dear friend, Barris, who happens to be a wonderful counselor, has a new CD/DVD out. It is very interesting - in this day and time.
As for his being a wonderful counselor, I went to him in the mid 90's (every week for several months) - and was helped immensely. I was thinking he might help with my insomnia - and other issues...He SO HELPED ME - BEYOND WHAT I THOUGHT - and he has helped me EVEN TO THIS VERY DAY (in 2020). REALLY. (Contact me if you need more info on Dr. Barris.)
This recent production he's produced is AMAZING.
(Again, click HERE for it.)
Enjoy it.
Learn from it.
Let it resonate within you.

Here's a totally different favorite thing... on a totally different level.
It has to do with peppers!! (If you know me you know that I love hot peppers! (Even in my old age! I have trouble with broccoli, but not peppers! - I'm a Lower Rio Grande Valley Girl.)
Here's a video you have to watch.
The man eating the peppers is a long time friend. I mean, A LONG TIME FRIEND. He's really family!
Can you see it???
Maybe you can click HERE for it.
I so want you to see it.
(I'll keep trying, okay?)
Here is Jesse and his wife Kristin a few years ago with Sam and me.
Well, that's all today.
I hope all these videos and that picture came through on my blog.
You'd think I would know all about blogging - but, well, when it comes to computer-stuff I'm still not too savvy.
See you later.

Human ears never stop growing. Never. Bones and muscle stop, but not cartilage. Cartilage cells divide more as we age. That is why ears and noses continue to grow as we get older and our bodies shrink.

Have a great week!!
I've had some free time of late.
I won't apologize for it.
Here are some shows I've watched and my reviews of them:
LEAVE IT TO BEAVER- It is a really heart-warming show. No big laughs, but some warm feelings.
I LOVE LUCY- It IS funny. I laughed out loud a few times.
GILLIGAN'S ISLAND: Well, it is cute. Really silly, but cute.
MY THREE SONS: Heartwarming and cute. (I always liked Robbie - Don Grady.)
HOGAN'S HEROES: Interesting idea. My in-laws liked this show, so I gave it some serious thought. It IS funny, even though it is about PowWows in Nazi Germany.
GREEN ACRES: I found it kind of silly. (I remember my Daddy liked it, but he liked farm life.)
HIGHWAY PATROL: Ha. Not a comedy for sure, but I remember Broderick Crawford in it. Not bad, but I like 30 minutes shows, which it was.
MASH: Funny. Kind of Liberal. The first part of the episode didn't have canned laughter. That last part did, which was interesting. Still, I liked it.
THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW: Heartwarming. Barney always made (makes) me laugh. Who is a Barney of 2020? I need him.
That's all.
You can tell me of old shows you'd recommend.
Thanks.
