It's time for the 14th Annual Slice of Life Story Challenge!
My theme for the Challenge is CELEBRATE.
St. Patrick's Day has been a very special day in our family for 28 years. It is my oldest daughter, Libby's, birthday. I can remember the anesthesiologist playing an Irish jig in the operating room (she was born caesarean), and after exclaiming, "Look at all that hair!", a nurse placed a little green bow in her hair. It's hard to believe those years have passed so quickly. First birthday to 28th birthday...
Now St. Patrick's Day has another special meaning. Right when quaranting began, our youngest daughter decided it was time to adopt a dog! Ed found one at a shelter not too far from us. He and Katie went and checked him out. He was a young, nervous Springer Spaniel whose family dropped him off after the husband/dad was deployed. "Toby" had sweet brown eyes, a lovable disposition, but was shy and anxious. Both Ed and Katie saw through his nerves and saw his goodness. Despite a rough first night, he's been a joy! Now his name is Remington (Remi), and he joins our other 2 grandpuppies (who belong to the birthday girl and her husband) as part of the family.
