Daughter's Turn

My daughters are certainly "aging" gracefully.  Except that she has become blonde, Dorothy looks the very same as she did when she was 18.  How can that be?  Loved having her here - also love this sequence of pictures taken with my birthday present - a new iPad.

Winter Visitor

Dorothy came to our house for a couple of days on her way to North Carolina from Seattle - We sorted boxes of letters and were amazed at how much history there is in the old snail mail.  The sad thing is that e-mail, texts, tweets, and whatever do not have the same staying power, so much will be lost in these years.  I would suspect that most of us do enjoy receiving a real, hand-written card or letter in the mail - one of the rarities of our time.  We so appreciated the wonderful cards of condolence and for Ron's birthday that we received in the last week.  Personal correspondence is not all lost!  Shall we start a campaign to bring it back?

Dorothy's September Birthday

We were in Germany for Dorothy's Sweet Sixteenth birthday. Now, many years later, she is still sweet - don't laugh, Dorothy! Soon after she turned 16, Dorothy starred as the heroine on the base theater production of "Dial M for Murder". People couldn't believe she was only 16. She did a wonderful job of make-believe.
