Good morning, Inky friends-
Your posture pictures were so good! I especially loved to see those that were woven together with artwork about your moms for Mother’s Day. We celebrated with a strawberry cake that was so delicious, I may have been loudly singing my own praises for longer than necessary. Jake might have had to remind me that “pride goeth before the fall.” (No more cake for him.)
Besides my rather brilliant cake, we had a great week over here, with my oldest son and his wife welcoming their first baby. They are bursting with pride (and rightfully so) while Jake and I are over here tearing up with every photo they send and wishing we were there. I’m half expecting to see Tate reenacting that Rafiki and Simba scene from The Lion King, holding his little guy up for all their neighbors to admire and singing “Nants ingonyama bagithi baba!” (I know you’re singing it in your head right now.) We might have jumped into that proud-grandparent territory too, as I’ve shown his photo to anyone I encounter, including our poor mailman and the dentist.
For the prompt this week, show me what PROUD brings to mind, good or bad. And if you’ve got a second, stop on by for some strawberry cake and baby pictures.
Love,
*Alison *
