Hi Evelyn,

Here are some pictures I took when I came to visit. You have grown quite a bit since I last saw you in early August. At this time of your life, changes are pretty big and pretty impressive.

I wanted to thank you for waiting until I got here to really start your walking. I know how hard it must have been for you to hold yourself back. You took your first two steps on your 14month birthday....but held off for the big performance until the evening of September 19th. You warmed my heart. You looked like a drunken sailor but you laughed like an angel. The best part is you really seem to like me....I mean really like me. We have been having so much fun during the day and at night too. You especially like my "I'm going to get you!!" game. You giggle until you are near exhaustion and hysteria. Probably not the best thing before going to bed for the night. Grandma can't seem to help herself though. Every moment is precious and I don't want to miss any love pats, giggles or 1st times. I don't want to miss a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th either. You are my sunshine, you make me happy.

I hope you call me on your "Banana Phone" once I go home.

Love you always and forever,

Grandma "P"

Night at the Cottage 9/03/09

This is how it looks at night at our cottage. Tonight there is a full moon to the East, and a beautiful pink sky from the remains of the sunset in the West. I love September at the lake. It is one of my favorite times of the year.

In the daytime, when the sun is shining bright the water looks like it is full of diamonds glittering on the surface of Lake Erie. It's a perfect time to be outside. The air is just the right temperature for reclining on my chaise and reading a good book. The sun shines bright, but lower in the horizon and I feel cuddly warm.

The crickets are out there singing loudly. We all know what that means, summer is coming to an end. In two weeks I will be making the trip to Gwinn to spend time with you dear Evelyn. I am going to stay for 2 weeks. We are going to have fun together. You are going to know your Grandma "P" a little bit more. I will get to see you in this new phase of your life. Yesterday you took your first steps! I bet by the time I get there you will be walking more than crawling. I can't wait to see the sight of you walking about. Get ready and save some of your best smiles, dances, kisses and hugs for Grandma.
