There is just something "magical" about coming home from an early shift at the Temple and upon walking into your apartment Lobby, hear a voice say, "Emma". And as you turn your head towards the couch and chairs in that Lobby, see familiar faces--Kyle Mumford, Emma, little Hiro and Sachi Mumford, just sitting there. WHAT A WONDERFUL SURPRISE!! I had expressed the thought, as much to myself, as to anyone else around, that very morning, that FaceTime is great, to see faces and people, etc. But I really just needed to "hold and squeeze" a grandchild for a few minutes. Then I think I'd be fine for a while. WOW!! Did I get my wish!! Thank you, Thank you!! E Mumford was "in" on this surprise--so when he arrived home a little later, due to a sealing assignment, S Mumford was truly in "Grammy mode" big time!! We did have a fun time with them--even though the weather had turned a little chilly and we had rain on Saturday. The other 2 days cleared up and we went for stroll in Central Park after Church and our lunch. Monday's "focus" was on Emma and especially her love of ART. Here are some fun pics that illustrate this VISIT. There was a fun "video clip" of me "discovering" Kyle and family in our Apartment building lobby--but I can't get it to play after I load it--so I cannot include here. Anyway--they did "accomplish" their SURPRISE!!
