Pep's Journal

Hello all, I hope you have survived the holiday season intact and ready to face 2008.

I just HAVE to share the wonderful news with you that my love and I discovered over the Holiday that we are going to be grandparents in July? My daughter and her hubby, who is still slowly recovering from his plane crash of 3 years ago, are expecting!!!

Not knowing what lies ahead for me and soooooo wanting our grandchild to know about his/her heritage I have decided to begin writing letters to the child. Right now this is our only grandchild with no real possibility of more on the horizon... if more come along?... Well this could turn into letters to the grandchildren. Will cross that bridge when it comes along.

I decided it might be worth it to post these "Letters to Junior" in a blog, which I have done. Wanting to stretch my wings beyond AOL I have begun a blog at thoughts.com and my screen name is "Pep" which is short for "pepere" (not sure of the spelling) and that is French Canadian for grandfather.

I would like to invite you and all your readers to come over and check it out. Please feel free to spread the word anyway you can. You know me, I love comments and feedback. Of course you also know that once school begins anew it will be tough to keep this going. But I'm motivated now.

As always thanks for stopping by and be well... laugh often... play hard.

Michael

    Wonderful news!! I read it the other night as soon as it was posted. I tried to comment, but all that signing in etc. got to me before i could get it all done. Soooo am commenting here. The blog to the gbaby is a wonderful idea--and I am glad to get the recipe for lefse---we love it and eat it at the Luthern Church back home when they have their lutefish supper! That baby will be really lucky to have a grandpa that is full of stories!!   Barb

    This sounds like a wonderful idea, and congratulations on your impending grandparenthood!  I will definitely visit there also.
