At Grandmo's
11 May 2009
There's a story famous in our family of me, probably around V's age I'd guess, asking my mother to refill my cup of milk by saying, "Mo moke Mo."
Years later, when my brother and I heard the story, we started calling my mom Mo.
When V was born, her first and only grandchild so far, my mom decided she'd like to be called Grandmo.
And so she is. V loves her Grandmo. There's always so much to get into at Grandmo's house.
I love it when we get to her house and V runs up to her Grandmo and gives her a big hug and kiss.
It warms my heart.
That must be a wonderful feeling! Grandmo is such a sweet name.
I love the last photo! Did you use your 50mm 1.4 lens?

Your mom must be so happy that you guys moved back here. I'm happy for her.
I love the last photo of the flowers, especially. Wonderful macro.
