My sister is a great grandma and she, of course, is very excited. The little girl's name is Sophia. That is a very pretty name and a few of our ancesters thought so too. One hundred and sixty two years ago in Hanover, Germany her great great great great grandmother Sophia was born. She had an interesting life what with crossing that great big ocean in a ship. That was not a pleasure cruise I am sure. She married in Illinois and then traveled to Iowa. Gave birth to a whole lot of kids. Traveled to North Dakota with all those kids, etc. etc. In 1780 another Sophia was born. She never made it to the USA and I am sure her life was hard work. She probably never learned to read or write. There was another Christina Sophia whose actual birth year is unknown. Another girl who no doubt did not have an easy life. Makes me wonder what this little girl will do and accomplish in her life. In most ways it will be a lot easier for her than it was for her ancesters. And she sure is adorable!
I just found out some great news! There is a Best Buy within 10 miles of our house and I never knew it until yesterday. We normally go to Toledo for everything we cannot get here in this town. Its 20 miles south. 10 miles north is Flat Rock which I knew had been growing a lot since we lived there. There is a Best Buy there now. I am going to have to check it out soon although I cannot think of a thing I need to buy right now. Also I think I have to check on what else is there now that I didn't know about. Maybe a Starbucks?? Ya think??? I do not need Starbucks because we have BigBees (formerly known as Beaners until someone decided that name was politically incorrect)...we still call it Beaners. Like Macy's will always be Daytons. Maybe we will check out BB today on our way to Beaners.
