I know the pictures do not really capture, nor can words adequately describe, the enjoyment I had on my latest trip my to the “Never, Never Land” of grandchildren. This time I was in Arizona with Addilyn (4), Kate (3), and Garrett (3 wks.); David and Jessica’s delightful children. With Jessica having recently delivered our tenth grandchild, I went under the guise of helping out. But I was really filling my reservoir full of grandma loves and memories to last me as long as possible while I am back here in New York without family. It is working so far. I have been home here in New York for a week now, and I still feel alive with the memories of my trip and the love of my children and grandchildren.
You’ll see in one of the pictures that Kate Kauffman and Alina Bangerter are hugging each other. With Jessica’s generous invitation to come for a visit, Lindsey and Adam drove from Albuquerque on Friday night, April 1st, just to spend a few hours with us for general conference weekend before traveling back to Albuquerque on Sunday. It was a joyful bonus for me to see and visit with them too and to watch the little girls playing with each other.
May I just say that I love the magic “Pixie Dust” of the airlines that makes it possible for me to travel great distances so I can play my grandma role to the fullest extent.
I miss being able to chat with you all the time. As you know, we loved having you and we wish we lived closer to you.!
