This is a recent picture of our ten-month-old granddaughter, Emma, who lives in Beersheva, Israel. We always hear that (like her father) she is already fascinated by "screens." The thing that has recently surprised me is to learn that as of yet, Emma has no teeth. I have not thought too much about this but was surprised since we had recently visited IN and two of our other grandchildren including six month old Malachi who already had two teeth. Anyway I keep reminding Emma's father to let me know as soon as she gets her first tooth! Yes, the above was a rabbit trail...
It is way off the subject of this particular blog... In January of 2014, Emma and her parents had visited us in PA for Christmas. They then came to Florida for a visit and because John and I wanted to see them one last time before they left for Israel, we packed up our house in two days in PA and drove to FL in another two days in order to see them for three days before their flight back.
That was not a problem at all. Yet here we are in Fl preparing to return to PA. The problem is, without an Emmanuelle to inspire us, we have kept putting off the date of returning. We have all sorts of reasons (valid and not-so-valid) for delaying. But today we decided to wait to leave until next Tuesday...our rationale being it gives us a few extra days to use up food and also we can put out the trash and recyclables one last time! So that is our new (and hopefully last) goal....
PA here we come....next week!
