Mom's
This picture of Jeri was taken at Ned & Marta's wedding. I'm not sure who had it made into a magnet. I am a theatre critic OK...so it's a new "career", but if you're interested in reading my reviews, go here WHAT I'M READING When Peggy was here, we listened to a lot of John Denver music (which I don't think Steve has forgiven me for). I was so intrigued by so many of his lyrics that I wanted to read the story behind them, so borrowed the book from her. also House of Sand and Fog Lynn left this book for me; I'd just seen a discussion on Oprah about it and was anxious to read it. That's it for today!

CHERISH THE CHILDREN 29 January 2001
It was a surprise party and we came from all over the extended arm of the Bay Area to hide and jump out to say "surprise!" like we saying to each other for the past 30-40 years.
It used to be that the parties were overrun with our children--all 22 of them. Now the children have their own children and it’s rare to have more than a few of the "second generation" attend the gatherings, but we can always be sure of a few of the little ones around.
I guess I’m feeling reflective because today would have been Paul’s 32nd birthday and in a week, David would have been 29. I’m hoping these new little ones know how much they are loved and I’m hoping wherever Paul and David are, that they know how much they are still loved. |

We went to a birthday party today. Another
in our group has passed out of her 50s and into the 60s.
There aren’t very many of us "kids" left
in the 50s decade. 
These are the 
I love watching these 3rd generation kids.
When we were raising our kids, did we ever take time to
stop and really look at them and realize how beautiful
they were? I looked around at all these little people
today and I just marveled at them. The smooth skin, the
bright eyes, so full of hope.
What lies ahead for these guys? Will they be
strong? Will their spirits be broken by life? Will they
be successful? Will they find great joy, or tremendous
sorrow. Will they feel the strength in the support of
family and friends? Will their lives be cut short?
