Enough to melt my heart

February 7th is a magical day. Three years ago our second granddaughter Cheli was born in Portland. James, Matthew, and I were there to welcome her.

I stayed in Portland and helped out as chauffer, cook, and chief burper. A month of bliss for a grandparent.

Now Cheli is beyond needing to be burped and is a fine companion for walks on the beach. At three she is filled with energy, ready to explore the world, and old enough to share a loving look.
