Dodger Blue

I have been a Dodger fan since 1955. The reason I chose the Brooklyn Dodgers was because 1955 was the year they won their first World Series by defeating the New York Yankees (my dad's favorite team). I reasoned that if I was going to have a favorite team, why not choose the world champions? So I did, and I have been a loyal Dodger fan ever since. I love Dodger Blue. I also chose my favorite player that same year. I fell in love with Duke Snider. I worshipped the Duke of Flatbush, and I still do. My two goals in life are to see a Dodger game in LA and eat a Dodger Dog, and second to own a Duke Snider Rookie Card (very expensive). I doubt I'll ever get either one, let alone both, but I can dream can't I? The Boys of Summer in the Days of My Youth. Go Dodgers!

Happy Birthday Mom

Apple of My Eye

Adelyn Rose Kissel...The Apple of My Eye.  Isn't she the most beautiful baby you've ever seen (no, really). Congratulations to her parents Drs. Brian and Sarah Kissel. Great job kids.

Joys of My Life

I have received many blessings in my life, but none equal the joy these five spirits have given me. Whether by birth or marriage, their importance to me cannot be adequately expressed. My thanks to them for making my life both meaningful and complete.
