I didn’t realize yesterday what my 1150 consecutive day of daily posting on my website. I even posted from aboard a Viking riverboat on the Seine and in Paris. Oh on the Sunshine Parkway as we drove to Key West too. Lol 😂

< strong>The Tale of the Livias. A very popular name in our family but this is Livia I named after Augustus Caesars wife when my son Ben was watching a Sir Derek Jacobi series I Claudius an old BBC masterpiece series. Sir Derek was a young man in it.

Anyway Livia is his favorite female name. When he has a daughter he’s naming her Livia and his son will be nicknamed Gus aka Augustus one of his favorite Romans. Hmm. <<<<<

course his brother watched the same show and decided to name his now 3 yr old daughter Livia as in Livia II.

Then my nephew named his 2 yr old Olivia. Guess what she's called. What else LIVIA!! I guess they did that so grandmas won't forget their names. Lol.
