Bella in Bellbottoms

Time for me to shed some el-bees and dig out my old bells. I picked up Isabella today and was thrilled to see that the 90s are back! Buh-bye skinny jeans...I'll be wearing my vintage bellbottoms real soon!

And I'm including, for myself to re-read some far off day in the future, the text messages between Bella and I. 

She wrote to tell me to drive safe and made my heart ache with love when I read the words "You're my person." It still amazes me that I have so many extraordinary nieces and nephews and that a great number of them have become dear, dear friends. I am a truly lucky lady.
