there we go...perfect moments...

there we go...I said it wouldn't be long...the tree has blossomed....perfect!

as I sit here updating this blog, I am privileged to hold and cuddle grand-baby number nine. (grand-daughter number six). having had the honor of putting grandson to bed, reading one of my favorite books, A Spree in Paris. you can tell by the lack of punctuation and capitals, that she is captive in my arms, or is it that I am captive in hers? precious moments in time, like the one I witnessed at the park today, when one of my favorite trees bloomed fully. cold and rainy day that it was.

I must say I have been a very privileged grand mother, having had the honor of cuddling them all so soon after their births, and looking after the older ones while Mum and Dad are busy in hospital, coming home etc. precious precious precious little lives all of them.

Many thank-yous to the loving parents and children.

It's the best feeling ever, cuddling I mean, not the lack of capitals. Congratulations and enjoy.

Wonderful news about the baby having come! I agree.....it is a GREAT privilege. Loving all you wrote. Who cares about punctuation when there are more important things to tend to?
