Stephanie and Nick

Now here is the nicest news of all: remember I said all my grandchildren live in the Midwest...Iowa and Minnesota...well the other night I got a phone call from my oldest granddaughter and she almost came through the phone...she was so excited! "Grandma, Nick has asked my to MARRY HIM!!!" These kids have been together of several years, and are absolutely the cutest, sweetest couple on this earth. I love them to pieces!!! So she sent me a picture of her ring and I am including it here. The sweet story is he chose the ring after 5 or 6 trips to the store, and then took her up to Lake Superior for a hiking-weekend. She was standing on a rock, turned around only to find him on one knee ready to "pop the question." A total surprise! How cool is that! There is some good news in this world...

And now for what else has been happening in my life...!
