MISSING MY SWEET, SWEET LILY

Liliana Grace when she was not quite three

a few days ago in the High Tatra mountains

In one week our oldest grandchild will be five! Last year I was in Austria and then in Bratislava with LG for her big #4. A couple of days ago we were talking on the phone and she asked me if I was going to be at her party. She insisted that I could get on an airplane in America and be there in time for her party. I can almost cry...

READING, STILL

Since life is slower these days, I'm reading lots and enjoying being at home. CA is busy with soccer and learning French and I am not so very busy with anything. I have margins! Room for life to expand and ready to embrace whatever is around the next bend.

I've found a couple of new authors and read a couple of new books by favorite authors.

TWINS AGAIN!

Meet Nick and Luke, just a few hours old and so, so sweet.

PM will be celebrating her oldest grandchild's 5th birthday on Tuesday, and these two little guys are grandchildren #7 and #8. WOW! That's partially possible, because grandchildren #5 and #6 were also twins! Yep, just a bit over one year ago, this family welcomed its first set of twins in our remembered history. And now there are two!

BLOOMING THINGS

Not sure whether this is a crab apple tree or mock cherry, but it is beautiful this spring.
