Memories and Looking Forward

I love looking at photos and reliving memories made by visits of children and grandchildren.
They are the light of my life.  I recognize that a benefit of living away makes visits so glorious and joyful.  The anticipation, the visit and memories made are precious and priceless.  The element of being in each others presence because it's just one big sleepover is just fun and different.  I would still love more time together and a closer location, but for now I will bask in the joy of the visits.

I look back at these photos and experience the joy again. At the same time I anticipate what this next year will bring.  Already in 2012 we've seen Elliott, Beckett, Trevor, Brennan, Bella, Claire and Lily.  We are looking forward to seeing all either here, at the farm or in Arizona.  Here's to looking forward with anticipation of creating new joyful memories.

 Yes, these pictures are not in order, and some date back to 2010.  Memories relives make me happy and feel hopeful for more to be made.  I love you all, thanks for the memories!   Nana......

Guess I need to get a new camera, mine died 12/24/11.  That's the last of my picture files.
