Rolling the dice....
This past year, we have been unlucky, but ....we have been beating some unlikely odds, so... we have decided to play the lottery -- to play California's Super Lotto Plus

Father's Day
Today is Father's Day.
Some people don't realize that today is an important day for us guys who have lost a child. Even if it was a Stillborn baby.
I have to admit that I wondered if it was just me who felt this way.
After surfing the Internet this morning, however, I can see there are many other dads who feel as if today is an important and somewhat difficult day.In fact, one of them is mentioned today in New York Times.
More and more research is showing the importance of acknowledging Father's Day.
Elizabeth gave me a great Father's Day gift. A framed copy of Natalie's footprints. (See above)

Blue Moon Shine
The other night -- on 5/21 -- we noticed a blue moon in the sky. (It really was a full moon on 5/19). According to the Farmer's Almanac, there will only be two full-moons in the next few years. Both on the 21st: November 21, 2010 and August 21, 2013. The 21st, you say?
What is a full-blue moon?
The origin of the term blue moon is steeped in folklore, and its meaning has changed and acquired new nuances over time. Some folklore said that when there was a blue moon, the moon had a face and talked to the people in its moonlight.
A Blue Moon is commonly the name given to the second full moon in a month. Since a full moon occurs every 29 1/2 days, if there is a full moon on the 1st or 2nd day of a month, there is a good chance there will be a second full or blue moon that month.

Not Pass(over)-ing on things
Passover starts today..... and as part of the Passover ritual, we are cleansing our home.
- Taking the final empty boxes to storage
- Cleaning the floors
- Shaking the dust out of rugs
- Washing dishes
- Dropping off old clothes to the Salvation Army
- Washing and rewashing old clothes
-
And looking for unlov'n bread.
We also want to do this cleansing to help prepare for Natalie's (ashes') homecoming.
