about dido

A source of amusement for some GOLO'ers, Dido (Dee-Doh) was the name I called my paternal grandmother. A Dean Martin fan, she loved listening to "Dino" on her stereo (remember when music came on large, vinyl platters?). "Dino" mutated to "Dido" and the name stuck. When my son had his first child, he asked if it would be OK for my granddaughter to call me Dido (as he had fond memories of his great-grandmother). I happily inherited the name...the rest is history.

Try as you may, the is no "L" in the name :) 

Hubby and I recently celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary. Proud grandma of four beautiful girls (Alyssa, Isabella, Emma and Olivia). My daughter is expecting her first child in August...A BOY! Looking forward to meeting little Connor in August!!!

Cathy, about the balloon ride... The funniest part was watching a dog beside a man reading the paper on their deck. The dog looks up, sees the balloon and starts barking madly. The man looks around, sees nothing, and tells the dog to be quiet. The dog starts jumping up and down, trying to tell the man to look up. The man starts beating the dog with new newspaper to be quiet. That poor dog was so frustrated with the man.

that is exactly what Ben thinks he is 90+ pounds of lap dog. He has no earthly idea he is a big dog. Everytime we sit on the floor, he tries to get in our lap. I've had all different breeds of dogs in my life, from purebreeds to mutts, but after having my goldens, I don't think I'll ever have anything else

I meant been not bee for goodness sake lol.

Good Morning,just to wish you a good day and hope your weekend has bee very good for you.
