The Reason for the Trip: Natalie!

Introducing Natalie Brown, my newest grandchild! 3-14-10

Our first day with Natalie. Her Papa can sure make her smile!

Welcome to the world, Natalie! 3-13-10

Natalie and her Momma, Diane.

Gus and Alex play one last game of Cribbage before we get on the road. (It’s a Maine thing.)

Three generations of Browns!

Grandpa having fun.

Natalie, Alex and Diane. It is so hard to say good-bye.

My son and my soldier. I am so proud of him.

Perhaps this Eastern Bluebird in his backyard is a sign, a symbol of hope, the Bluebird of Happiness. I miss them already. I want to go back!
