I had a lovely surprise.  Someone I didn't even know found my blog and commented.  Apparently this person is also a retired teacher, has sons, and lives too far away from grandchildren.  Hello.  

This new reader asked about pictures of my daughters-in-law.  I had to do some hunting; one of them is very camera-shy and the other one was probably standing next to me taking pictures herself.  I did find a couple of pictures that I'll add, so it doesn't seem like I'm just ignoring them.  I think we women are the ones who herd the kids into groups for pictures--I don't have that many of me either (no big loss).
