I am the mother of two children. 

Son Brett lives in Florida where his passion for cycling can be fulfilled year 'round.  He has a house; perhaps a family is just down the road.

My daughter, Dawn, and her husband, Matt, were married in 1997.  My life as a grandparent began in January 2000 when Brandon was born.  I am enthralled as I observe him, guided by Dawn and Matt, growing into the adult he'll someday be.  When Brandon's around, my camera's not far away.  He'll no longer pose for picturetaking, so shots must be taken without his notice, before he turns away.  His imagination is always engaged as he emulates people he's seen -- perhaps the "air conditioner guy" or the "painter guy."  His best buddy is his dad.  Together they work on their mowers or bikes or paint the shed.
