Lunch Admiration of Pioneers.

This resonates with me so very much:
I do not wish for the life my father left behind, but I know that some spirit forged in that particular adversity made me possible. -Andrew Solomon
I'm reading Far From the Tree right during lunch and I just had to note that.  This book after reading the whole A Series of Unfortunate Events series is quite the fluctuation but I love both authors all the same.  They both hit with a melancholy that is also somehow light and funny.

After seeing a recent facebook pic posted by my aunt, I would like to once more openly admire my 92-year-old grandma (elegant woman below in scarf).  Those are some good genes! :)  My aunt on the far left and my aunt on the far right also look decades younger than they actually are (but I won't be rude and give their ages away - it's different for my grandma because she has hit the magical ninety-year milestone).  The woman in the middle (beside my grandma) is one of my grandma's greatest closest friends :) 


Okay, back to the grind!
