It seems like only yesterday that I was announcing the birth of our MBM's first grandchild. Well, today, January 1, 2015, Message Board Monitor Ellie welcomed her FOURTH grandchild. An 8 lb. 5 oz. girl. That makes 3 girls and one boy. Congratulations to Ellie, who never lets anything interfere with her MBM duties. She is up every morning at 5:30 ( Her internal clock is screwed up - won't let her sleep past 5:30 AM), and one of the first things she does is check the message boards. And it's one of the last things she does before she goes to bed at night. Not to mention the times in between, alerting me to new members, spammers, deaths, and any discussions that need my attention. This board would not run as smoothly as it does, if it wasn't for Ellie's diligence.
Please show your thanks to Ellie for her hard work by congratulating her on the birth of her newest grandbaby.
Congratulations Ellie on your New Year bundle of joy! Thanks for helping Joan keep us straight on this message board. I greatly appreciate it. Enjoy your new granddaughter.
Oh, a Capricorn--they are charming. My birthday is Sunday so I know these things, read it in a book. Problem is that you get a bit short-changed at Christmas. Otherwise, a long, healthy, happy life for her. Congrats to all.
What a great event for a happy new year! Thank you Ellie for all you do on this site - by the way - my internal clock is screwed up too - I'm up at 4 or 4:30 every day!
Why thank you everyone. I guess I am a little late this morning. It is now 6:30. I do live in the Boston area if anyone is ever visiting here and needs a tour guide.
Last year, Joan put me in touch with Coco when my husband and daughter had a conference in Hawaii (I just tagged along with the baggage). We got to have a wonderful dinner with this remarkable lady, sampled some delicious coconut candy that she made and got to see some cool volcanic glow with her.
I know you are all traveling a most difficult journey (my Mom suffered from Alzheimer's disease) and wish medical research could do something to find a cure (better yet prevention).
Congratulations, Ellie. Wishing this new little baby a healthy, happy life, and love to all her family. Thanks also for all you do for this website. Happy New Year.
Congratulations, Ellie, to you and your entire family and welcome to your New Year's granddaughter! I had a granddaughter born on New Year's Eve 2013 - it's a great way to end a year or begin a brand new one.
Thanks for all your hard work in keeping this valuable site humming along.
Ellie!! Congratulations on the best gift in the world!!! I am sure she is beautiful! Thank you for all of our efforts on behalf of the alzheimer spouse! I am also in the Boston area. Brockton. Happy new year and all the very best to you and your family!!!! Love Christine.
Congratulations on the birth of your granddaughter! What a wonderful way to begin the new year! I remember the days of the births of my grand hildren so well. The best time of my life!
