Luther Land!

We are headed off to Germany - including the Wittenberg sights. Got my address labels for postcards to the kids!
 

When our lives are histroy

The HS granddaughter called last night - paper due on Friday. She wanted to ask us about The War. You know - the Vietnam War. The one we lived through. The one that shaped our lives and decisions at the time and, for many, for a lifetime. At several points in our relaying our experiences she said, "I read about that in our History book."

Huh.

I guess there are events I lived through worthy of becoming history, but I am still out there making it! Here I am teaching English and visiting temples in Vietnam in Summer 2015!

 

Bonding!

Precious and few are quality moments with the adult children!

I was blessed with two this week. Dinner with my son Brian Currie and his partner Beth Waltz. Then a trip to Iowa where Beth Currie and I tag teamed to get 3 children (we had a bonus friend of the granddaughters) ready for their dance recital rehearsal.







Look for ways to enjoy the adult children as well as the grandchildren this week! Hold those memories close as the reward for all the times we did not sell them on ebay...which of course did not exist in the 70's...

 

Mother's Day

 

With appreciation to the lovely women who share my grandblessings so freely!
 

Young as springtime to old as dirt

So with spring - and putting anything but yoga pants! - came more yoga and healthy eating. Gotta admit - I was feeling more balanced and energetic! Then I visited the grandkids and fell over a (in my defense) very bad crack in the cement! I'd like to think it was graceful but my daughter said the word was "splat"! Nothing broken, hardly grazed, but suddenly I felt ancient and aching. Obviously as we gain wisdom we trade for physical bouncibility!

Lesson learned! Stick with the yoga for balance and healthy eating for resilience. And don't give up walking with the grandchildren out of lack of confidence.



Plus is there anyway to get an infusion of the 6 year olds energy or the 9 year olds balance?
