The Sandwich Role
Chris calls us the Big Mac generation (not just any sandwich) since we actually have Mom P., our gen, our kids and the grandkids. Gotta love the love … and the love shared as we spend time with family in all gens. Being in the sandwich generation is really a blessing.

Creative Christmas Gifts
Last year Zeb and Bri gave us all popcorn. They sent it in metal containers and divided the flavors with cardboard. I took pics of the creative lids. The one in the image was for Hudi and Mollie. Ours is next to it and missed the photo op 🙂 But it’s equally awesome. Technically this…

Zeb and Bri Visit
A highlight of this sabbatical included a short trip from two of our kids. Zeb and Bri few in from Utah for a visit east before our grandson is born. The night was beautiful and had the nicest warm wind. We didn’t realize the renovations at the Albany airport had come so far, and we…
