Yes, that's truly perfect. I may send a link to this to my twin brother who is a published writer. I also love your family and the friendships that have been made over the years. You remind me that my first three years in public school in Newark, NJ in the late '50s was very diverse. It was really a great way to begin to see the wold. When we moved the suburbs in 1960 it was definitely not as diverse.

Time to think things through, to better envision the project, is essential! Don't you think?<br /><br />I envy kids who grow up amid a mixture of races and ethnicities. Where I went to school, we were virtually all white, and either catholic or protestant. It seems bizarre when I think about it now.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-59983814761835794342019-03-08T08:54:43.622-05:002019-03-08T08:54:43.622-05:00A lovely photo.

I am so proud of them. and how wonderful when your kids loves fit so wonderfully into the whole family. my daughter-in-law was never interested in becoming a part of the extended family, sort of cut my son from the herd but she has mental issues, is a shut-in. <br /><br />before we retired I would do the same, work on designs in my head while seemingly wasting time on other activities. and I love jigsaw puzzles!ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107151958453669111.post-17180755937712315662019-03-07T18:27:46.841-05:002019-03-07T18:27:46.841-05:00It is such a wonderful gift from the universe when...It is such a wonderful gift from the universe when your child's significant other loves not only their partner but their partner's parents too, isn't it?

We also both have very loving families. <br />We are the lucky ones. <br />I think that doing jigsaw puzzles are your meditation. As you fit those pieces together, you are fitting together an altogether different picture in your mind. I love it!
