Well, it is now Jan 3, and I am just finding your piece in Napa Valley Features from almost a month ago. What a great read. Congratulations on being a grandmother. So much fun ahead! Our twin grandchildren turn 31 on Friday, so the novelty has worn off, but they hold special places in our hearts and lives. Your telling about your grandmothers hit a note for me, making me think about my own, neither of whom I ever got much of a chance to know. I am happy to hear that Jelly Bean will have you and your family for support. Here's to a simple pregnancy and delivery and a long and happy life for him- and much joy for you as you and he have time together! thank you for sharing.
