144 years ago today, I gave birth to my youngest child, a beautiful baby boy named Nigel. What? Wait ... 144 years ago? Ha! Yes, in dog years. In normal years, it was 21 years ago today.

This is cool ... Grandma J. is holding her great-grandson for the very first time. I am so happy that I found this picture. Grandma died in 2003.
