The Child

My amazing Penn...
“The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect,
he becomes an adolescent;
the day he forgives them, 
he becomes an adult;
the day he forgives himself,
he becomes wise”

 [Alden Nowlan]

Planting Boxwood

There is something about seeds, plants, dirt and watching things grow grandma Jeanne has always enjoyed and appreciated  a lot.  As the years go by, no children at home, working at both the University and hospital with little time at home, I am leaning more towards hardy perennials, and bushes; altho I admire your mother's garden of fresh vegetables and beautiful flowers.

I have always liked the Boxwood.  This year grandma added 6 more Boxwood bushes to her collection.  I planted them in metal containers grandpa Willard originally designed for herbs a few years ago.  As I grow older, I wonder what I'll change about gardening...perhaps a hiring a lawn and gardening service :).

Best Day

Laugh

Grandma Jeanne doesn't make it a point of laughing at someone's misery, but there are just some times when I can't help it.  This was one of them.

Friends




Brandon (holding LillaMai), Christopher (holding Murphy) & You

Grandma  Jeanne came across these pictures she had taken March 16th when you were here visiting.  The photos were taken at Aunt Lise and Uncle Ty's apartment.  Two friends, (nurses Aunt Lise worked with), had stopped by to say good bye  before moving. 

Posing for pictures were interrupted as we all enjoyed you and Murphy dashing back & forth.  Finally it all came together and we were able to get the five of you in the picture.  Fun times :).

Spiegel im Spiegel

"We cannot see what is in the heart of another person.  Maybe he is a holy man, and I can only see that he is wearing a wrong jacket."  [Arvo Part] 

(Arvo Part is an Estonian composer, this piece is a favorite of grandma Jeanne's)
