What Does a Grandma Do?

What does a Grandma do when her new grandbaby lives all the way across the world in India? She goes out, buys a balloon, ties it to her grocery cart, and tells everyone she sees about her grandson! Then she comes home, grabs Grandpa, and together they take a picture of themselves with the balloon. Then, she goes outside, ties the balloon to the mailbox, so that everyone in the neighborhood can celebrate the blessing! Then she comes inside, and maybe, just maybe, sets the table for a birthday party and videos the celebration to send to the new parents and grandchildren.

Aging Gratefully

Waiting for the sun to rise while watching from the deck of our beach house.  Thick, hovering, dark abundant clouds with pale pink and yello...
