Hello everyone! I hope this post finds you all well. I just wanted to let you know my daughter has her first baby.
Meet Allison Marie. She was born at 12:30 PM (Jan. 28). She weighed 6 pounds, 2 ounces and was 19 inches long. I had to get out the tape measure for that one… I think she looks like grandpa already.
I think I have four step grandkids (1 boy and 3 girls) but this is my first from my gene pool.
That’s all I have to say for now. I have to get back to work updating pages and writing new ones for the wildflowers I identified over the summer. I still have about 120 new pages to write. I had to check out Steyermark’s Flora of Missouri again (all three volumes).
OH, one more thing. I had an enormous spike in stats today. 490 views! Usually about 60-110, more or less, from about as many visitors. Today, only 42 visitors but 490 views. What is really strange is that 438 views were from the Philippines… No comments or like’s so I have no clue who the culprit is/was. I am sure tomorrow will be back to normal but it would be interesting to have stats that good every day.
I’m finished now.
Until next time, be safe, stay positive, and always be thankful.
Congratulations!

Hello Simon! Thanks! The spike was before the baby’s post. Some plant pages had an unusually high number of views, mostly from the Philippines. Hmmm… Take care and thanks for the comment!
