Pocketful of Memory Cards

My youngest celebrated a birthday last week and it amazes me to think that when I was her age I was living with the man who has now been my husband for almost 27 years.  I feel blessed to have such a kind, generous, helpful, creative, smart, witty child.   I don't know what I'll do next year when she does her UCLA exchange.  Thank goodness for Facebook, Skype and her blog.  Here's a few photos to give you an idea of why I think she's so terrific.
