Choco, I have to admit I was wondering about your racial heritage but was worried it was crass to ask. We don't have quite the same melting pot as the US and so (some of us Brits) still worry.
But it is something that fascinates me. I find the same beauty in combined accents. Like Bjork's East London accent.

The photo of the three generations of females in your family is absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks, all!

Sundae -- I always find it amusing when people ask me "where I'm from." I generally have to ask if they want the short answer or the long answer (which includes family heritage and the five cities I've lived in). I've never met anyone who was offended by being asked about their heritage, but it can be aggravating when people either assume or try to correct me. (Yes, I'm SURE I'm not from Peru. I think I'd know.)

Happily watching the afternoon thunderstorm from our patio.

Did a big photoshoot of my grandchildren yesterday. Mom and dad wanted a group shot with everyone dressed up for this year's Christmas card but then we did casual shots. I turned their family room into a photo studio and shot for a couple of hours.

I always let kids be kids when they are having portraits taken and let them do silly poses if they will help me get good poses as well.

My oldest son at the start of his most recent century ride (the Backroads Century in the Shenandoah Valley). In the second photo he's third from the right, coasting in to a rest stop at Mile 64. This was his second Century ride and he warmed up the first 66 miles, then tackled the hills in the last 35. I can't even imagine riding 100 miles ...
