Eveling

I just got some good news this morning!  I got an email from an old friend in the mail today.  My friend, Eveling--whom I haven't seen in like..gee, um..20+ years is flying down from Switzerland to visit family here in California this Christmas and we have made plans to meet again for coffee!  Yippee!!  I get to meet her and her husband and her little new baby, Nora! 

Eveling and I met in Campbell, California when we both attended business college.  We became fast friends--she was even one of my bridesmaids--(first marriage--I was very young).  She eventually transferred out and started attending, Stanford.  We basically lost touch for awhile, but kept in touch with Christmas cards now and then.  I one day did a Google on her out of curiosity, just to see if she was still living in the states, or back in her native Peru, but no, she was working at the World Bank in a very high profile job, attending meetings all over the world.  Now she is married and has settled in Switzerland with her little family which includes her beautiful little newborn, Nora that was born August 14th.  

                                              

I can't wait to see her again!!  YIPPEE!! 

Meanwhile this morning, I get a frantic call from my mother.

  "Julie, Nicholas will not step away from the T.V.  He is standing in front of the T.V. with his face pressed on the television tube, and he won't move!  I'm afraid he is going to go blind!"

Nicholas is being stubborn again this morning.  I called about 10 minutes ago, and I am happy to report that he is now away from the T.V. and is being a "little angel" now.  He is turning 3 in early November--I hope and pray that the "terrible twos" will turn into the "terrific threes!"  Wish me luck!!
