I awoke this morning to a little voice talking in the next room.
“Daddy here, Grandma Carol here, PawPaw here, Joey here…” and the voice continued as she named all eight members of our little branch of the family tree. RT and I looked at each other and smiled.
“She’s talking about where each of us will sit around the table,” I guessed. I quickly got out of bed and went into the great room of the condo we’ve rented at the beach and found that I was correct. It was Sunshine talking to her mommy as she pointed to the chairs that were placed around the large round table in the dining area.
Soon she, my daughter and I were sitting together as we ate our respective bowls of cereal. The sounds of my grandgirl’s voice and my daughter’s voice in the foreground, and the sound of ocean waves in the background. Life is good.

Thanks Ruth and Joan. It’s a beautiful place here. It has rained and stormed a LOT. So we’re on day 3, and I haven’t spent much time on the beach at all. But that’s okay. It’s still relaxing - and the view from the balcony is great.
