Forty years! It really isn't that long ago and yet it is. Imagine that Carolyn was born in a time when, because the nurse on duty knew my hairdresser,between contractions I was wheeled out of the delivery room into the corridor to have a cigarette!!!!!! Imagine that I was home recuperating when JFK was assinated. Imagine that Carolyn was two months old when we bought 167 Boston Neck Road!!!!!!

As the third child in a family of five siblings I think Carolyn has alot of the qualities of the middle child. Since I am the middle child in my family I know them when I see them!!!!!

My favorite qualities of my middle child? Easy. Honest,kind and thoughtful and even a mother can say FUN,FUN,FUN!!!!!

There have been times when Carolyn's honesty with her mother has not been easy to take but forever greatly appreciated.

There can't be anyone that knows Carolyn that has not benefited from her kindness and thoughtfulness.There are times when these qualities have caused anskt in her life but that is not such a bad thing to say about someone.

Fun, fun, fun.Different for a mother to say than a sibling or friend. I have read some of these blogs and I know there are references to times that I know nothing about. But, I do know that Carolyn can light up a room!!!! Can you imagine her on the campaign trail in Iowa? She has a gifted way with people that is a cherished attribute!!!!

Favorite song for Carolyn?"You are my Sunshine"

We love you so much honey. Love
