 Joe put his sailboat in the water.

  He had a full audience, and they were quite pleased.

 No idea what's happening here.

 That man-looking person over to the right is our oldest grandchild.  How is that possible? The World's Loudest Grandchild is quiet now.  He's no longer a nutty squirrel.  He's funny, and is superb company, observant and kind.

And that baby tossing herself through the air into his hands--she calls him, "Cramp-aw."

Love, Val, aka MOM, aka GRANDMA
