Here I sit, a seventy-eight-year-old woman, feeling like a six-year-old on December 23. Why?
All my children, two of my three granddaughters, and two of my three daughters-in-law will be arriving in Bothell within the two days. It's been four years since all four of my of offspring have gathered in one place. And that wasn't for a happy occasion. This one will be.
Oh, I'm so excited!
Bothell is a beautiful place. Here is a picture of the morning light on a routine walk I like to take. I live adjacent to the junction of two wonderful biking/walking trails that provide year-round beauty and pleasure. I'm always amazed and delighted at the quality of light on a summer morning.
But in the next few days in my Bothell neighborhood, anyway, there will be a different light. The one that eminates from a family being together.
