Distance, but the countdown begins...

I flew back to DC last Thursday to come back to work, my dog, the house, and friends. I'm glad to see the snow is melting away, but it's hard being away from mom. Talking and FaceTime on the regular is happening, and we are excited because our countdown to Vegas and going to see the Grand Canyon has begun! We are hoping that all will go well in the next few days, so that her dream can be realized this coming weekend. Mom has traveled all over the world, but this is a wonder she has not yet seen.

And, I know we all love pictures, so I'm leaving these here from her visit with another Filipino-Texan friend, Belle, last Saturday!
