Above, second from the right, you will see my youngest daughter, Genevieve. She and three good friends did the Susan G. Komen Walk last year, on a chilly, chilly day, departing from the Mall of America. (You can tell they are all well-insulated under those t-shirts, can't you?)
This year, they've expanded their group, with a special focus on the family of one of Gen's dear friends - both of his parents passed away within the last three months, and one sister is battling cancer right now.
This is a link to her "give" page:

Have I mentioned lately how proud I am of each of my children? I am so very, very lucky that they are all dear, passionate, and intelligent human beings AND the two in-law children are also great additions to the family. (And I'm here to tell you, it was LUCK, not skill, on my part.)
When I was going through some boxes recently, I found a slide that was an old favorite. I brought it along when we went to NC, because I knew our friend Earl King had the equipment to scan slides. He sent it to me today, via email. Even if it wasn't of my son and me, I'd think it was a really sweet photo.
Spring!
