She's A Gem.






At first I was insulted to hear this term referring to the Ph.D. degree. Then I decided to reframe and own the phrase as reflecting my life at 52 years -- full of experiences, rich in relationships, and now achieving a dream. Ah, yes. Sometimes my own depth startles me. But at the end of my first semester, the true meaning is unromantically clear: "Piled High and Deep" refers to the astronomical stack of books and articles I will have to plow through in order to finish. Oy!

Hi Trace! Good to hear from you -- I haven't been around the blog neighborhood lately . . . Mom'a always looked a good ten years younger than her age, wish I'd gotten those genes. I'm fine, starting a new term; hope you and yours are all well.
FYI -- that's Mom holding Sal, then Mom holding Haley, who seems to be saying something to her Grandma.
