Happy Birthday Joy Christine

Well, Hello there family.
Wow, is the weather ever different as night and day from this date 28 years ago. At this time of day I was getting ready to go to the hospital to have a stress test, due to my pregnancy with one Miss Joy Christine. My Mom, Granny to most everyone, was on her way up to get me to take me in for my test. As always, Bruce had to work, he didn't get much time off during those years. It had been icy and rainy and snowing for a week already. Danny had to walk to school and kept falling down, but he just had to wear his cowboy boots. A man a lady, parents of one of his classmates that lived around the corner from us, stopped and picked Danny up. He was so upset about the man putting him in thier car that the principal had to call me and let me tell him that it was ok, this time, and that I knew the people. When they also brought him home at noon, Danny was crying again, I could hear Mrs. Rose telling him it was ok, but until I opened the door, he was not happy. Man, when I told him not to do something like ride with strangers, he took it to heart. His poor little knees were black and blue from falling on the way to school that day. He never rode with them again. LOL Mom, Granny, got here about the time Danny did and was wonderful with him and explained to him that it was OK, that Mr. & Mrs. Rose were nice people and that they would not hurt him.
Granny and I took Danny to Grandma Cleo, because I was going in for test and I had a good feeling that I would not leave that hospital with out a baby. I had been having back labor since Thurs. and this was Monday. Well, nothing went right, the hospital messed up and told the doctor that I was a no show for the test, while I was sitting in the waiting room. So the doctor had to do the test herself, without the special team that she had planned for. She got called home because her horses had gotten out and into the road. That did not make any difference to Joy Christine, they started all this delivery stuff and she was going to be born. An Born she was! 9:00 p.m. at night she came into our lives. It started snowing again that night and did not stop until OKC was so covered up that the nurses could not get home and the Ambulances could not get in. It was just horrible and yet beautiful at the same time. Today, it is cold, but we have not seen it this dry in years. That was exactly 28 years ago today. Joy was born on Monday 13, 1978 and here it is, Monday 13, 2006. That is cool. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOY" Joy, James, Jessica, Jordan, Jana, Sara, Bruce and I had dinner last night for Her birthday. Danny was preaching in Lindsay, so he and his family could not attend and Thomas was working in Tulsa, he should be home sometime Tues.
I just looked at the calendar and Danny's birthday this year will be on the same day that he was born, too. Monday, Aug. 7, 1972 I still think that is cool. Thomas' birthday was on his actual date and day of birth, this past year. One time I went through computer calendars to see how many times that Granny's birthday landed on the actual day that she was born. I wish I could remember how many that was.
