They came bearing gifts. They arrived at the doldrums of 103-degree afternoon. Claire chatted up a storm with them and generally delighted us all. Georgia entertained us with her talents (amazing eyebrows!) and was so sweet with Claire. It was very special to meet Karen and Georgia, as both of them are close to my heart and have helped me in many ways. Since I seem to be increasingly economical with words (forgive my laziness), I’ll let a photo speak for me. We would love to see them again, and I’m certain we will.


Lucky. And happy. Wow.
I loved meeting Claire! She was so sweet. I really liked making her laugh by swinging my hair everywhere. Give her a kiss from me.
I am jealous!!
Georgia, it was a delight meeting you too, as well as your mom. I really hope we get to see you again sometime. And consider the kiss delivered! 🙂
Reminds me that the world is indeed a very beautiful place to live.
Beautiful faces. I love Claire’s expression of curiosity and barely submerged delight.
Her world is growing! Nice pic.
