EXCITING CHRISTMAS NEWS

MY NIECE PATTY PELOSI, CALLED THIS MORNING...I LOVE HER DEARLY, AND WONDERED WHAT WAS UP....
WELL, IT TURNED OUT THAT HER SON, NICK (FIRST OF FOUR CHILDREN) GOT ENGAGED LAST NIGHT ON DEC. 15, 2007~ I THINK HE IS ABOUT 25 YEARS OLD NOW. NICK IS ABOUT 6' TALL, AND SHE IS ABOUT 5'. IT REMINDS ME OF MY MOTHER AND FATHER WHO WERE SIMILAR SIZES. MELISSA HAS BLOND CURLY LONG HAIR, THAT THE REST OF US WOULD JUST LOVE TO HAVE, AND BEAUTIFUL GREEN EYES!!!!!!

BEFORE JIM CAME DOWN TO VIRGINIA TO PICK ME UP AT MY SISTER'S HOUSE RECENTLY. I HAD TOLD MY SISTER PAT, THAT JIM WAS WORKING IN WASHINGTON, AND SHE TOLD HER DAUGHTER PATTY WHEN PATTY CALLED LATER THAT NIGHT. PATTY CALLED NICKY TO SAY THAT JIM WAS THERE, AND NICKY FOUND HIM. AREN'T CELL PHONES TERRIFIC? THE FUNNY PART WAS, THAT NICKY WAS ONLY ONE AND A HALF MILES DOWN THE ROAD FROM JIM'S MOTEL. SMALL WORLD, ISN'T IT?

JIM HAD A CALL FROM NICK WHEN HE HAD RETURNED TO HIS MOTEL, WHILE WORKING IN WASHINGTON, D.C... IT WAS NICKY TRYING TO MEET UP WITH HIM. AND MEET UP THEY DID FOR SEVERAL HOURS. NICKY HAD BROUGHT HIS GIRL FRIEND TO MEET JIM, AND JIM SAID THAT SHE WAS A "KEEPER"...HER NAME IS MELISSA. THEY ALL HAD A LOVELY VISIT, JIM TOLD ME.

AND BECAUSE OF MODERN PHONES AND CALL WAITING, PATTY HAD TO GO FOR THE OTHER CALL. SO I DO NOT KNOW MELISSA'S LAST NAME YET.

BUT HOW EXCITING IS THAT! WE HAVE AN ENGAGEMENT IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS!!!! ANOTHER LITTLE SOUL TO ADD TO OUR FAMILY OF LOVED ONES! CONGRATULATIONS, MELISSA AND NICKY!
