| One of the three piles of toys we mounded up after Benjamin McKinley (and our daughter Mary & husband Richard) returned to the far side of the earth, Switzerland. |

| Benjamin McKinley LOVED this T-Rex. He carried it everywhere by its tail. He loved it sooo much that the thing was coming apart at its plastic seams. But, at the beginning, it walked, roared, swung its head side-to-side. Even the dinky forearms moved and the jaws opened. A thing of beauty to behold and it broke. I ordered another one, just in case, but did not give it to him. I think we bought it at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. $$ There is always FedEx. |

| Our three gr-kids. Clara (looks like her mother, my daughter) and Lily (looks like her father), with cousin Benjamin McKinley (parents are both blonde, tall). The girls (they are sisters, 18 months difference in age) live 40 miles away. We have indulged them lovingly and outrageously. |

We had a wonderful time together. Exhausting but marvelous. I didn't not post photos of our three grown-up off-spring. They are boring by comparison.
