Ready! Set! Interaction!

Sometimes, people tell me I seem awfully quiet when there's a group of us together. Mostly, I think that's because I love to just sit back and listen to the conversations and watch everyone interact. One of the greatest joys of being a mom (and grandma) is to listen to everyone discuss topics, share recollections, and laugh about things that have happened. And mostly, I just love seeing the people I love having fun together...
