My favorite granddaughter turned 13 years-old on the 4th. We celebrated her birthday today because she chose to go to a movie with friends when we planned the celebration the first time around. Sadly, that’s going to be the norm from here on out.
She inherited the other thing that’s standard from her Dad and it’s…
MAKING A FACE AT THE CAMERA EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Ben hates posed smiling photos. He always has to do something out of the norm for a “normal” photo. Just a few examples: not looking at the camera, not smiling, and putting his hand on his daughter’s head.
Coco has it down to a science. I guess someday we’ll look back on all the crazy photos we’ve collected as memories over the years and laugh. When people say that time flies and wonder where the time went? I’m thinking that exact same thing.
TIL (Today I Learned): In 1998, a preservation group began restoring Ben Franklin’s residence in London. During their rehabilitation work, they discovered a secret, windowless room under his garden containing the remains of 15 people.
