It's been five days since my daughter and grandchildren left to return home to Los Angeles. Still I haven't felt like disposing of them yet. On the other hand I expect the work of art below will remain stuck on our refrigerator door indefinitely, ...as a memento of one fun morning we spent at Coffee Time (see post from 10/28/2014) where the girls made a little friend, ...and one of my friends from the Posse brought stickers and paper and had the children pick out stickers and paste them onto the page and give each sticker character a name which my friend then wrote down. The children were captivated by the activity. But aside from the couple of standard left-behind items, a sock, a little necklace, a pink pony tail twisty, those are the only material reminders I have of my little granddaughters who will have grown so much, as they always do between visits, the next time I see them. But the hours we have with them, too few and far between, are always times of delight and wonder for Tom and I. We wonder: Were our children at that age such little bundles of non-stop energy? Were they as chatty? As disarmingly cute? But of course they were.
