Small Miracles

I needed to stretch my legs halfway between there and here, so when I saw the sign PUBLIX, I followed the arrow. 

I wandered up and down, much as I would in any foreign territory: curious, just seeing what there was to see.

Until this came into view!

I felt almost as elated as I had been the night before on watching two great-nieces dance in The Nutcracker.

It's the little things.

Always.

The Family That Dances Together

makes lifetime memories. 

As my nephew (father of two daughters) said,

before he became Mother Ginger,

"It's their football. We all love it!"
