At The End Of The Rainbow...

First of all, I would like to thank those of you for your concern over my recent absence. All is well, in fact, life is super-duper great right now!  On New Year's Day Mr. Goodneedle and I flew out to Los Angeles and  boarded a ship for a two week Hawaiian Islands cruise. Everything about our trip was fabulous, there is much to report and I have lots of terrific photos to share with you in the coming weeks. This shot with the double rainbows was taken off the deck as we sailed away from Honolulu on the afternoon of January 8.


There is much talk, mystery, and speculation about that pot of gold that waits at the end of a rainbow... little did we know then that the best treasure of all would be waiting for us when we arrived back home today! 

Meet Lynnleigh, our newest granddaughter, 
who arrived yesterday at 3:19 PM!

 Life is Good Grand!
All is well with the world.

    I WAS getting a bit concerned, but am glad it was for naught, and you have nothing but gold to report! Lovely rainbows and darling granddaughter :)
