Abby had a little cold, so she got to hang out here for the day....I got her a new ballet outfit and a "bun elastic" for her hair...she kept looking at herself in the mirror....

She called these the "oculars"...where are those "oculars" Gram? I told her that these are from her "Great Pepe'"...and they are a family heirloom...she loved looking out at the birds....
