Last night was one of the best nights of my life. [View all]

I spent it with my son and his family. I drove up from Columbus to Copley, OH (Akron) and had a
wonderful meal … she is in charge of the West Side Bakery in Akron… and she made rice and cod
w/seasoning, home made coleslaw, and spiced Asian cucumbers (cucumbers, ginger, sesame seeds,
vinger, garlic, hot peppers, and sugar) chocolate chip cookies (toll house) and watched my son and
daughter in law along with their girls 2nd grade and the younger one turning 2 in March being a family.
I kind of stayed back and watched their dynamics. The girls, their 2 dogs, and everybody being in the
moment of being a family. I am so proud of my son. Cold out but as warm as you can be in their little
house.

I am rich beyond measure.
