I want to put a quick plug in for the Banana Bows Hair Accessories online store which my friends Micah and Elizabeth created. Elizabeth, who is a nanny, makes all of the bows by hand. She has made many bows for Corinne, including the one in the pictures here:

Today my Grandma is 86 years old, born April 10, 1921. We surprised her at the assisted living place with a cake and candles around lunchtime. She had total hip replacement surgery done eight days ago – now both of her hips are artificial. She had recently broken her one remaining natural hip. This first picture was taken today, the others were taken recently.
