This is not a very good picture of my grandchildren; but I wanted to show off my grandson, since I don't have many pictures of him.  Now, if he would only smile!!
 

This is my sweet friend, Alex, who lost her husband in Hawaii three months ago.  This is her first public appearance.  She sang last night with the band with which she has performed many times in the past at a benefit to raise money for people in need of free legal services.  
I was fortunate enough to be there.  She was gorgeous, talented, vibrant, and she brought the house down.  She asked me to say a prayer for her just before she went on stage that she could get through the set; I told her that I had confidence in her, and that I didn't need to.  I was right.
