01022010=Palindrome


For those who watch the calendar, today folks might not know if they're coming or going.
The date 01/02/2010 is a palindrome: A rare confluence of month, date and year that reads the same backward as forward.
Oh...and today is also my mother's birthday. She would have been 94. I'm so glad she's off enjoying her great reward rather than having to endure all the pain and suffering that had made life very difficult for her. Happy Birthday mom :o)
An added note....the little house in the background was built by my grandfather and he and my grandmother lived in it for a short while during WW II when there was such a shortage of housing. It was first nestled on the hill above the bay next to their brick home, then moved to a new location on Goodnough Drive, across the street from our house, on a piece of land that grandpa donated to the community for a community club house. It was used as a Pierce County Library and after the library closed, we had it moved across the street next to our house where it became a home once again.

With such a rare occurance, today will have to be something special. Thanks for pointing it out.
