I took the kids on our "annual" summer road trip to visit my grandparents. This little trip is so important to me on some many different levels. The first one selfishly is that I hope they remember the memory and weave it into the fabric of their children's experience. I hope they take their children to visit Arizona and Chapin and make an effort for their own kids to have a bond with their great grandparents. You have to know where you've come from to have any idea of where you may want to go in this life. Find out why certain things are important to you.
Second, I had to check on Mabel to see for myself that she is okay. I had to lay my own eyes on her and absorb her new surroundings. She recently moved to Greensboro and left the beach. Lord and Clyde only know how hard this must be on her but she is handling it and handling it beautifully I might add.
Lastly, a visit to Wagram will always set things straight in your heart and your head. It's good to get there and get yourself ironed out and see what your camera can catch...

Love, love, love the pictures. Love, love, love you for caring so much about home and family and for understanding the importance of knowing from where and from whom you have come. No one can really grow without roots...and the deeper the better. Love you.
