Bright Orange Nail Polish
Yesterday I got the second best manicure, pedicure I have ever gotten. Both were from Molly and Sophie. Because first times are the best thats why this is second best but I adore it. I am sure I glow in the dark. I love these girls and of course the baby Lily. I am their almost grandmother. Living as I do with their grandfather. Molly and Sophie are twins. 7 year old twins and brilliant. And so gentle. It is incredible the care they put into their manicures. So each time I look down at my dayglow orange finer nails I am happy. They did Jeff's nails too. Amazing. He is looking for the nail polish remover right now so that he can take it off and I can't say I blame him though I adore him for letting the girls polish his nails. Every time I look at his hands now I am unspeakably happy. And the night was perfect. We got to have dinner with the girls and Jeff's son and daughter-in-law when they got home. (We were there for just a few hours babysitting at the end of a Saturday afternoon so that Robbie and Julie (parents) could go to a meeting. They brought home pizza and pasta and spaghetti and meat balls. And Lily did not want to sit at the big table instead she wanted to sit at the kids little table with me. So I got to eat across from Lily (she will be three in less than 3 weeks.) I am not sure there is anyone else I would rather eat with. She spoke to me of radishes and meatballs. Even ate a little of her pizza. Unconditional love. What a triumph. A tonic really. There is something going on with my own son who seems to be short and mean to me. Just doesn't really want to talk to me. And I love that kid (34 and married) so much that when we are out of sinq i am just heart sick. So I am learning to let go a little more, respect whatever he is going through and I really need to not take it personally. That is more difficult. But I am aware of it so a beginning. Anyway my gratitude is enormous. For the days when Wiley gave unconditional love, adored me and was so sweet. And now that that seems to have disappeared for the moment or time being to be able to look down at my bright orange colored nails and know that it still exists.
