There are two announcements that really get Rosie fired up. When I tell her that we are going to visit "Aunt Gail" or "Baby Olive," little Rosie goes absolutely crazy and begins jumping and spinning in the air. Aunt Gail turned sixty-something two days ago, and we didn't make the trip down to see her because she is currently in the middle of moving - and we didn't want to chance having to work for our supper!
And today Olive turns seven - and she obviously isn't a "baby" anymore. In fact, Olive is in first grade and the tallest child in her class. I have warned her that bit of status won't last forever. Soon those gnarly little boys in her class will spring up like the sassafras saplings that continually plague my fence rows. But for now, the boys all have to look up to her!
Olive phoned this morning to thank me for a present that I had mailed to her. This afternoon the family is going to a hotel where several of Olive's cousins and friends will join them for a swim in the indoor pool. It has been raining in the Kansas City area where Olive lives for most of the past week, so the swimming should be a welcome break!
It sounds like it will be lots and lots of fun!
Happy birthday, Olive! Pa Rock loves you and wishes you the very best - always!
