Phone Calls that Make My Day

Most of you know my Grandson James and my Granddaughter Veronica and I share the same birthdate.  They both are so special to me and for them to be born on the same date as I was makes them all the more special.   This is the first year we have not been together on our day but they both have jobs that make them coming up here impossible. 

Veronica asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I told her to see her walk in my door carrying a bag of Jelly Bellys, Popcorn flavor.  I love those things.  They have Jelly Bellys at one of the Speciality Shops here in town but no Pop Corn flavored.  Guess I like them so much because I can't have pop corn any more (seeds).  I used to have a bowl of pop corn most every night while watching a ball game.  They actually do taste like the real thing. 

Had a phone call from Daughter Becky as she was walking home from work.  I knew when she was on a major street because with the traffic noise I was not able to hear her.  She has just come off a very successful Work Shop she conducted and was very tired but thought the walk home would restore her energy.   She will be coming for a visit soon but only for a matter of hours.  Would hope that it could be longer but I will be grateful for what time she has for us.

Hey, did you hear the score of the Rays game tonight?   Cleveland beat us 5 to 3.  I am not happy about that.  I know we can't win them all and we probably lost because two of our best players were out with injuries.   Maybe tomorrow we will be back in the win column.

Oh yes, I received another call from a dear friend.   She is living in Texas now but is still a Rays fan.  She also watches the Texas Rangers games .   I am glad they are in a different division than our Rays or she might have a problem explaining to her family why she is still a Rays fan.

Hope we can chat again tomorrow.

Love and prayers from here to there
