It's a gloomy fall day where I am here in the Northeast USA, but 118 years ago today, considering it Old Style (which is how I remember it) in Peterhof in Russia it was a day of joy because of the birth of Olga Nikolaevna, Olga. For her father Nicholas, it was "A day I will remember for ever...with a prayer we named the daughter sent to us by God Olga."
Warm birthday remembrances today for dear Olga.
