High Tech Game Time




Gary explaining the game on his ipod to Phillip - Phillip playing with deep concentration. He is so good with all the electronic games.

Trying to see what Aunt Nancy has that Sara does not!

Aunt "Sissy" reading to Sara


Sara loves her Aunt Sissy and Uncle Adam. She really likes it when Cynthia reads books with her.

Everyone wants Jamie
















Aunt Cynthia, Aunt Nancy, and Grandma all wanted Jamie, of course, but he was most contented with his mom!

Couldn't resist


Love this picture of Phillip concentrating on his game and Gary concentrating on his coloring for Sara.

Play time











The "kids" enjoyed playing games. It was fun to watch them.

Feeling loved


OK, when I was given the Barnes Junction Branch, South Boston Branch pillowcases by members of the branch as a farewell gift, I had every intention of having them framed to hang. As in a lot of other things, I kept putting it off and have not done it. When I saw Annette last week and mentioned it, she told me to not do that - to use them and enjoy them. I decided she was right (she usually is) and pulled them out as soon as I returned home. That was such good counsel, because I smile several times a day as I notice them and immediately feel loved by all the members of the South Boston Branch. Just looking at them warms my heart and fills me with pure joy. I have so many wonderful friends in the branch and will always treasure my memories of each and every one. In today's world of conflict, doubt, and troubled times, what a delight that something so simple can bring so much comfort and peace!
