It’s been a busy week with family that we haven’t seen since well before the pandemic. The granddaughters grew some but are not towering over me…yet. Soon!
I shared my magic place and we got a great picture (no shut eyes!) in one shot. We celebrated my brother’s upcoming 91st birthday (dang I didn’t get a current picture but he still looks like this one from three years ago).
Doesn’t he look amazing?
Not much else went on this week but there will be a Sasha story on Friday!

How wonderful!!!
They always say in my family “if you make it past 79, it all gets better”. Looks like Brother has that figured out. What fun that must have been – the girls so tall!

They are about as tall as I am but one growth spurt and they’ll leave me in the dust! Both of my brothers are in their 90s. This one is healthier than the other. He could pass for a 70 year old. (Can you ever imagine saying that was a good thing?)

They live across the country so it’s rare to start with and covid didn’t help.

Wonderful photo! And even more wonderful that you were all together in the same place. Bet there was some hugging going on. Looking forward to reading the Sasha story.

You have a great looking family, and your brother looks amazing.
I was able to spend time with family last week — for the first time in a VERY LONG time. I soaked up every single moment.
Wishing you all a great week ahead!

Everyone has left. As much as I enjoy seeing them come, I also enjoy seeing them go and the ensuing peace. It was a long time for some of them so it was truly great to see them.

Mine is almost 4 and it was a lower level smart phone so not too much in the bells and whistles category.

Your brother does NOT NOT NOT look like he’s about to turn 91! Love the group shot – and in your Magic Place too….bonus. Getting together with family and friends in person again is so wonderful isn’t it. I’ll find out tomorrow when I visit my 83 year old sister in W. Virginia!!

I hear you…..my sister has replaced her shoulders but otherwise has original parts at her age……we can compare surgical scars since I had the hip replacement in January! Glad you got to hug family – it’s been WAY TOO LONG!

Not sure if it’s Sasha’s story or Kate’s nightmare. One or the other or maybe both.
