Bella's Back!

When it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement,
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
--Mary Oliver.


Bella has been off traveling, first with her parents, then visiting her other grandparents, jet-setting around all over the continent. Now she's back in Portland for a couple of weeks. I am in sweet honey-dripping heart-throbbing hooting-squealing couldn't-you-just-burst-from-it bliss.
