Sharing a profound lesson from Karlos K. Hill and Soraya Field Fiorio, directed by Rémi Cans of Atypicalist, and presented by @tededucation

When we wound up back in Greenville the next year, imagine my surprise to see that the lunch ladies included my grandmother, Eileen (Kious) Darnell, and my great aunt, Aldean Darnell. And yes, I believe my portion sizes were at least a little above average. :^)

This photo is c. 1970, and shows Aunt Aldean on the left (weird to see her not smiling, which she always was) and Grandma "Bam" on the right.
Feeling very blessed after spending the past week Feeling very blessed after spending the past week at our favorite cabin on Lake Santeetlah, and looking forward to what's next. 😊
So happy to have been able to join the celebration So happy to have been able to join the celebrations for our awesome niece, Caragh Kiefert. On the joyous occasion of her high school graduation, her parents Dan and Nancy, plus Aunt Mary and all members of the extended family are unanimous: She is a gem.
