My millennial niece just called...

to tell me two pieces of news that have me over the moon.

Of interest to you... she just got a paid job doing canvassing for Hillary in North Carolina for the next two and half weeks and she's thrilled to work for her political idol!

Of interest to me... she and her hubby are expecting a baby in May!
