Japan

Got a new grandbaby.  Her name is Vyera.  Was able to arrive in time to see her born.  It actually takes a lot longer to have a baby than one would think.  On TV, it happens so quickly.  Not like that very often in real life.  There is a lot of waiting.  So, we are all exhausted.  The nursery is getting set up.

What does this have to do with Japan?  I downloaded her pictures into a slideshow to show my son and his wife at the hospital.  Then, I asked if they’d like to see my Japan pics.  They watched them politely.  When I got home, I gave my son a gift for the baby.  It was a charm from one of the shrines I visited.  Actually, I got two.  One was a blessing of good health for the baby.  The other was a charm depicting the Year of the Mouse.  It has a pink stone.  Too cute.
