Sweet 16 And Tubing....

Sweet Sixteen...a Passage. A step towards adulthood...so much to look forward to. The world is out there and waiting and it is an exciting time and.... for old Grandma, or Mo as I am called, a time for extra prayers as she takes baby steps to growing up....I took care of her for the first 2 1/2 years of her life and what a special time in my life it was....she is a gifted singer that performs, a high honor roll student. Even tho she is a Sophmore, the paper she wrote for her Model UN class earned her a spot with the upper classmen to go to Harvard later this month to debate with other high school students from all over our country. Next year, a trip to China with the same team...
