From The Great State of Texas!

Yes, Yes I am sitting in my son's study in Houston, Texas. In less than 24 hours my grandmother crown of jewels will be increased to three!

What an amazing thing to know that a new life is entering this world tomorrow to change all of our lives forever. Talk about mind blowing! Is there a phrase to describe heart blowing....perhaps overflowing is the word.

And I have had a great and exhausting time with Maddie. She is so sweet. I haven't seen her since last June and she is so incredibly sweet. She is so petite and dainty and none of the pictures seem to capture that delicate side of Princess Maddie.

We have spent most of the time with her lying on her stomach on the bed in the guest room coloring while she jabbers away. She says many words clearly, but the sentences are not easily comprehended. But she's great company. And she certainly has a mind of her own!

I am most grateful to live in times where I can fly 3 hours and be here for my son and his wife. I'm grateful for cell phones where I am a phone call away (and don't have to count minutes$$) with everyone else I really love. Isn't this really the best of times? I guess really every time is the best of times if we are looking for it.

I can't wait until tomorrow.
