What exquisitely uplifting news, Celia!! Congratulations to you, Paula, and Jeremy!! 🎉🐣🎈 June 17 would have been my beloved grandma's 101st birthday, so it is a very dear date to me.
Here is one of my favorite baby poems by my favorite poet.
You are going to be a changed woman, Celia. lol I have several siblings, and a bunch of nieces and nephews. Two nieces have had 3 babies in the past 5 years. My sisters and brother in law - OMG - I love watching them. Grandparents are the most joyous loving exhuberant people on earth.
Put you seatbelt on. You are going to have a wonderful time.
Thanks for sharing this truly happy, VALUABLE, news.
Wow it’s an official ladies handbag! I haven’t had one of those in years! My last proper ‘handbag’ was a Louis Vuitton ‘Doctor Bag style’ purse that I treated myself to in the late 70’s! Since then I have used a black lightweight nylon cross body purse. Total utilitarian and easily washed!
Then recently a new acupuncturist I was seeing told me I might want to carry a small backpack/purse to distribute the weight in my shoulders. So now I use a small, black, nylon, Kipling (brand) backpack with the big fat zippers for my ‘purse’ needs!
Oh no no. Neither of his parents "vaccinated" and he will be utterly safe from jabs. Whole family united on this! Paula's father Antonio is a practitioner of Chinese medicine.
You tell the very best stories!!!!! BIG congratulations to the little one, to the family and of course, to you with a virtual hug~~ Baby kisses soon to be non-stop, I think.
Congratulations!!! What a beautiful story!!

"Night Feed"
by Eavan Boland
This is dawn.
Believe me
This is your season, little daughter.
The moment daisies open,
The hour mercurial rainwater
Makes a mirror for sparrows.
It’s time we drowned our sorrows.
I tiptoe in.
I lift you up
Wriggling
In your rosy, zipped sleeper.
Yes, this is the hour
For the early bird and me
When finder is keeper.
I crook the bottle.
How your suckle!
This is the best I can be,
Housewife
To this nursery
Where you hold on,
Dear life.
A silt of milk.
The last suck.
And now your eyes are open,
Birth-coloured and offended.
Earth wakes.
You go back to sleep.
The feed is ended.
Worms turn.
The stars go in.
Even the moon is losing face.
Poplars stilt for dawn
And we begin
The long fall from grace.
I tuck you in.

Fabulous!!

Congratulations to La Familia! Oh what a sweet story. It brought tears to my eyes.
You persevered despite all the miscommunication and what not, luego volaste a ver a tu nuevo nieto!
How do you like your new handbag? 😉👜😍
Thank you for asking. I LOVE it. It's like a proper lady's handbag—something Carmen would carry. It has gold chains in the straps. 😂
