A baby is on the way

Jennifer and Paul Gabriele

We have just received word that Jennifer and my grandson Paul will be expecting their first baby in mid-June. We hasten to share this joyful news with all of our family and friends. Whereas we might have waited for Archangel Gabriel to make the announcement, on this occasion I decided to preempt him. Being family, I'm sure he won’t mind.

Lenore and I sowed a goodly number of seeds early in our marriage and it delights us that our progeny are beginning to do likewise. And now that we are quite along in years, these words by George Bernard Shaw have special meaning for us; "Life is a flame that is always burning itself out, but it catches fire again every time a baby is born."
