A VISIT FROM OUR VETERAN

Family faces are magic mirrors. 
Looking at people who belong to
us, we see the past, present, and
future. 

~Gail Lumet Buckley

 

An important paper due
for my daughter's Masters
program meant a wonderful
visit from my son in love, John
and my one and only grand,
Emerson.

We spent part  the day 
looking at videos John made in
Afghanistan, and I learned
things I am glad I didn't know
until he was home, such a
scary place and people being
beyond ugly to each other.  He
did bring me the most beautiful
cashmere scarf that I will wear
often and think of him every time
I do.

We took a nature walk looking
for 'clues ?' that Emerson jotted
down in her notebook. The
highlight for her was holding
a dragonfly and then watching
it fly home.

Sunday was a quiet day with
knitting, reading and a nap to
make it complete.

Happy Veteran's Day, Thank you!
