Old Age Day by Day February 20, 2013

Today is our daughter-in-law's birthday, and we've already called and sung a terrible harmonic version of happy birthday.  We won't see her for a week and a half, for a luncheon and to give her presents.  At this point, we've known her for a very long time, and she's been our daughter-in-law for over eleven years.  Pretty amazing.  She still looks as young, but like everyone she's had challenges:  starting and selling a business, having falls while riding, going back to college to earn a teaching credential and M.A.  It's privilege to watch her growing up and older and becoming confident and sure of her value.  She's strong.

I'm going pick up my granddaughter this afternoon and do something until we go to her house so I can give a sewing lesson to her and her mom.  She received a sewing machine for Christmas, but I guess it's hard to figure out.  I hope I can.  I haven't seen her in almost 3 weeks, as I was away, then she was away.  Her family went to Costa Rica, so I'm sure she has much to relate about her trip.  She's growing up so fast, and I want to enjoy her while she still has time for me.
