Baptism of the Calm
The Baptism of Elle Kathryn, now one month old, my pretty baby granddaughter was this Sunday. Here is Elle, sleeping through it.
Here's the mom and dad as the priest made the sign of the cross with oil on Elle's forehead.Elle slept.
Here is the moment when the priest poured water on Elle's forehead, the family all gathered around. Elle reached her hand out. Stirred. . . . . .
. . . . but ultimately stayed asleep.
Then when it was over, our whole family gathered around. L - R Katy, Shelly, Aaron, Josie holding Elle (who is--you guessed it--asleep), Wendy, Matt, Me and Ivan. 
Shelly and Aaron the attentive godparents.
Elle the inattentive baptismee (is that a word, because it oughta be), wearing her beautiful baptismal dress and hat,
and never once noticing what went on around her.

Mirror, Mirror.........
Shrek, Brad Pitt, and Jennifer Aniston were all having lunch together.
Shrek said, "I have always thought that I'm the strongest man in theWorld, but how can I be sure?"
Brad Pitt said, "I'm pretty sure I'm the hottest man alive but I've never had it confirmed."
Jennifer Aniston agreed. "I'm told I'm the sexiest of them all, but sometimes I wonder."
They all decided that the best way to find out if their beliefs were true was to approach the wicked Queen's mirror to confirm for them whether Shrek was the strongest, Brad Pitt was the hottest, and Jennifer Aniston was the sexiest.
They agreed to meet again the next day for lunch to discuss their findings.
The next day Shrek walked up with a smile. "Well, it's true. The mirror told me that I am the strongest man in the world."
Brad Pitt walked in and with a big smile and said, "It's confirmed, I am the hottest of them all!"
Jennifer Aniston walked in with a confused look and said "Have either of you guys ever heard of Mary Connealy?"

AusJenny
I received a 'LET'S BE FRIENDS' Award.How fun is that.
From one of the nicest people I've met online,
AusJenny, from Australia.
I think that's so cool how we can reach all the way around the world on the internet.
Here's what the award says:
These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our 
hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers.”
I probably don'tdeserve this because I am (like you didn't notice) forever talking about and promoting my books. But AusJenny is so nice, she included me anyway.
Go see what she had to say, then hunt around her blog to learn a little more about the wide world.
