Happy 19th, Jennifer

Jenny celebrated her 19th birthday a day early on Saturday. Lacking a "9", she put together nine candles with a large "1".

She squealed with delight with her sister's generous gift, the gift from Grandma & Grandpa, and Diane's media gifts.

"Wicked" soundtrack and The Sound of Music on DVD. Jenny agreed that she had it memorized but loved the DVD. She couldn't help but pop in "Wicked" for her and Grandma's enjoyment.

She also got a Dave Matthews' CD, which is a band she grew to like by someone.

Despite the joy and love, there were and are challenges. One: the house, while warmer, might have been warmer with a fire. Jim and Marcus' attempt to make a fire sent smoke into the house. The damper (trap) did not fully open, sending smoke throughout the nearest three rooms. In cold, bitter winter, the windows and doors were opened. Thankfully for them, batteries were absent from their smoke alarm. I also glad that it wasn't a real fire.

Warm feelings, cold weather -- happy nineteenth, Jenny!
