| A historic gathering: Annalee meets cousins Katiya and Ethan for the first time. | I was so happy to be part of a family gathering at Abe, Jenny and Annalee's Troutlake, Washington home. I remember family events as a child, and now it so strange and wonderful to be not only one of the grownups at such an event, but to be a grandfather as well, and to celebrate my birthday in the company of 3 generations of wonderful and delightful family. There was walking, talking, playing, napping, eating, and sleeping. 3 dogs, 2 cats and 3 horses were present. It all happened in and around a house in a field surrounded by trees and a creek with a mountain looking down on us. |
