Visit with the Family

Today my grandson had a party for his 5th birthday.  Since when did he become 5, anyway?  That one really snuck up on me.

Anyway, a lot of my family was there and I had a genuinely good time.  My daughter, who asked for space, and I were chatting about things as if there was nothing negative between us.  Maybe it's because I didn't bring up any issues and just enjoyed the day.  Maybe it's because I didn't force her hand.  It was very nice...I actually didn't want to leave.

This precious little redhead is one of my granddaughters.  Irish blood lines...can you tell?  She's like a little wood nymph or a fairy...tiny and adorable.



And then there's the birthday boy (did I mention that he's 5 now?), squinting in the sun. 

He also told me he's starting kindergarten in just a few days.  Oh my.  Wasn't it just yesterday that he was a baby?  Why do the years fly by the older I get?  It's like I'm on the downward slide of the roller coaster!


Most Assuredly Blessed,
Me
