Back to Grace & Neal’s

Before they bought the houses they’re in now, the kids used to live ~5 miles and about 20 minutes away from each other. Now it’s 29 miles and anywhere from 45 to 90 minutes. So we stay a few nights at one house and then switch.

This is Clare with the youngest grandchild, who had head surgery a week ago. She doesn’t look any worse for wear, does she? (Note the little bald spot on top where they had to shave her hair.) The neurosurgeon said it was successful and since I’m writing this 8½ months later, all follow-ups were positive; the surgery did exactly what it was supposed to do.
