The warmth of family

We've enjoyed our time together so much that I'm feeling sad today, their last day--so I'll just post a few pics.

Bob and Jocelyn took Elena to spend some of her birthday cash at James Avery last night--and now her bracelet is jingling with charms.  They played cards together and filled up the casita with laughter and silliness.   

I always dread the last day of a visit, but it's been a long-awaited and wonderful visit in spite of the cold. 

Four generations
Carlene born 1925, me 1948, Will and Bonnie 1978, and Elena 2012. 


Carlene liked this chair in my house so much we ordered one for her
for her new apartment at Presbyterian Village in Athens--hoping
for an apartment space to open in the spring.
