Twenty & Beyond!



Eighteen minutes after midnight, on the morning of January 9th, 1999, baby Grace was born.  One of the most striking things about her was her jet black hair, as her predecessors (brothers & sisters), had all been born redheads!

Jane, Sherlock, Richard, and I were thrilled to 
have a baby sister in the house, and she became our joy!

Since I was just 4 years older than Grace when she was born, she naturally became my BFFL, partner in crime, fellow traveler, dance partner, singing companion, and overall the best thing since soft spread butter in my life!

Grace has grown up to be a lovely young woman who cares deeply for those around her, and is a blessing to us all!  When there is a job to be done she gets right on it!  She is a talented writer - a lifesaver when I think we are stuck on something we are co-writing!  Grace is also an extensive reader; taking after her brother Sherlock, (and she's very good at reading out loud to us and even does voices on occasion:)

Her college was trying the radical move of replacing the library with a flight of stone stairs. They had just had the google installed, and saw no further need for book rooms.

I couldn't have asked for a better sister to share life with!  I love you, Grace!  You will always hold a very, very special place in our family which no one could ever replace!  Happy Birthday!!
