Summer 2021

CoVid rates are as low as they have been since the start of the pandemic. Hurray for Vaccination.

My babies are moving. I know I shouldn’t complain they are all still relatively close. Our daughter and husband bought a house in Bedford MA. Our middle son and his family are moving to Hanover New Hampshire where he will be an assistant professor at Dartmouth . Our youngest son is moving off the island of Manhattan (Harlem to be exact) to Brooklyn (Williamsburg). I am happy for all of them and what these moves mean for them, but I will miss our Pandemic gatherings at Leslie College with our oldest 2 and their families. Things change. Roen has morphed from a toddler into a full blown Three-anger. She is so funny. One of her favorite things is to do s’periments with food coloring and water. She can mix colors for hours. She is now part of a cohort of kids who regularly go to Larch Road park. They know each other’s names. Like a collection of little rascals they range in age from 2 to 5. The kids think my name is “Grandma” cause that is what Roen calls me.

So like an expanding spiral the kids are still close but moving farther away. We will still be connected.
