Hello - It's been a couple of days since I wrote and I had a couple of ideas different from what I had thought about. But then, that's the way it's supposed to work, isn't it? When I get an idea, I write about it.
Today was a kind of "special day" in that my new friend, Vicki, invited me to start going to a Bible Study group with her. I have been wanting to start going to one for quite some time now, but I'm not sure I want to commit myself to six months or so of every Thursday morning for two hours. But, I'm going to try it.
It's also a special day, because it is Esther's birthday. She was surprised I even remembered it, with so many in the family. I have tried very hard to remember most of my family birthdays this year, and have done a pretty good job. I know there are some I have missed, and I do apologize to them. But, as for Esther, there is no way I could forget about her birthday. I might miss the date, but I will never forget the day. Esther was born at home, and I was actually there to assist. I have been at the hospital, and even in the room, when several of the granchildren, and great granchildren were born, but Esther is the only one where I actually assisted with the birth. I'm not going into much detail, because I haven't discussed it with her or her Mother, but it was something I will never forget.
I'm not going to write much tonight, just don't feel up to it, but I did want to mention these things. So, I will talk to you more, later.

Hi Grandma! This is exactly why you need to do this blog! I knew that Aunt Georgia was there but I did not know that you were there! I still can't believe it has taken me 26 years to find this out!!

Sorry Esther! Okay, here's what happened. Me, your Daddy, your Grandma, your Aunt Georgia, and our midwife Beth Holly spent that whole morning waiting for you to show up. We knew you were coming because you let us know as early as 4am (an early riser). So we all gathered in the master bedroom of our 12'x70' mobile home expecting you at any time. You finally got there around 12:30pm. Grandpa Rohleder was there too, except he was next door at Grandpa Frank's house babysitting your older sister and brother, Ruthanne and Daniel. Grandpa Frank and Grandma Merle were not home but were visiting family out of state. It was a big day for everyone!

Thanks for clearing that up for me! :) I guess I have always been an early riser, but I don't like to get out of bed until 12:30... so that sounds about right! LOL! Just kidding,.. I am very thankful for all who were there to aid in my delivery into this world... but especially for you, Mom! Love and Hugs!
