It is February 21, 2008 which makes me think about all of the Fitzsimmons birthdays that are on the 21st of different months. Dad's birthday was March 21, Mother's birthday was June 21 and Jack's birthday is July 21. I miss Mother and Dad and think of them often. I miss the phone calls from Dad and the newsy letters from Mother.

For those who would like to know, Susan Kirwan McGuire's birthday is approaching. April 6th is the exciting day when Susan will turn 65! It sounds old, doesn't it? I'll always be glad that I was born 10 months later than dear Susan. Eileen Fitzsimmons Heitman's 53rd birthday will be on April 12. Kathleen Fitzsimmons 59th birthday will be on March 10.

I have a bouquet of beautiful flowers that were sent to me on my birthday which was the 16th of February. Susan called, Kathleen called and Tom e-mailed wishes for a happy birthday. Thanks to all. Sharon and Shane Curran (Owen and Aidan also) hosted a fun Karaoke birthday gathering at their home. Erin and I were to celebrate our birthdays together, but Erin got sick and so spent the day with stomach problems that I won't mention. Erin Curran's birthday was on February 7.

Journal

What a great way to begin a day; create a blog! I have no idea what I am doing, but my family insists it is possible for me to construct a blog. What is a blog? I have no idea. Since I am Gramma Colleen, Irish Gramma, I guess in the future I'll be talking a lot about my darling grandchildren.

Already I see I have made mistakes. Somehow the first journal I wrote was posted twice. Where the heck do I go to download some photos or to add shamrocks or other stuff? Help!

Notice the video bar. I've downloaded Conn Curran's singing of, SAVE THE LAST DANCE. Conn is a fantastic singer. I also want to try to download Shane and Sean performing. When you click on the video that is supposed to be Shane and Sean, you'll see that I wasn't able to delete the videos that somehow attached to the one of Sean and Shane. Sean and Shane's video is the one of them doing a show in Provo, Utah. Shane is on base and Sean is the tall guy in the hat.
