We see them occasionally when we visit our 98 yr old great grandma (she also remembers people, their names etc. etc) Amazing!

It is so important to get these stories now, before they die off. The flower I asked you about on my blog is a wild flower. It is growing on the side of the road where we take our walk. It is blooming right now.
