My Secret Garden

The woman who has planted a garden feels that she has done something for the good of the world.

My Grandchildren

I realize that I'm entirely non-objective, but I have to say that my grandchildren are truly beautiful.  My daughter, Chantal, as well as Hector and Ines, the grandchildren, will be visiting from England very soon.  We are renting a large vacation beach house in Duck, North Carolina.  My son, Jamie, will also be visiting.  I am so looking forward to seeing all of them.

Ines is very much like I was at her age.  As you can see, we closely resemble each other  She is strong-willing, artistic, and loves to dress up and play act.  She has the temper that goes right along with strong-willed children.  Her brother Hector, is a quiet, calm, and instrospective boy.  An old soul, you might say. 

My family is the most beautiful thing in my life,
