oh...the boy

Jeff made us a wonderful dinner...ice burg wedge salad and chicken piccata (my choice for my birthday). I giggled so hard when we sat down...

1952

Jeff's mom recently shared a picture she found of her parents Corrine and Ralph Baca from 1952.
They are the couple on the right.
I think this photo is so beautiful. I see so many similarities between Anita and her mom.

Anita and grand kids 2009


It also made me realize where my little girl comes from. When you get past the light skin and long blonde hair...her features really come from that side of the family.

The big brown eyes, high cheek bones, and especially the crooked smile.



I adore this photo.
Thank you for sharing Anita.

seven

What I wanted most for my daughter
was that she be able to soar confidently in her own sky,
whatever that may be.
