Other Sweet Carolines

So, this isn't much of an update on Caroline. Just some fun stuff.

Apparently, there is a plant called Sweet Caroline. A kind of hibiscus, if I remember correctly. Thanks to Aunt Helen for finding that.

Also, a bit of trivia about the namesake of the blog-- the song Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond. (I have been trying to figure out how to put a link to the song on the blog since I started writing it but haven't quite figured it out yet.) Anyway, I was searching on the internet and found an NPR story on the song. Apparently, at Fenway Park during the Red Sox games, they play Sweet Caroline in the middle of the 8th inning as a crowd sing-a-long. Cool! I guess we're going to have to take her to a Sox game in a few years so she can hear thousands of people sing to her.

But don't tell her. She's the only Sweet Caroline as far as she knows.
