I got a call from my son Riley today that I’ve sort of been waiting for. He said guess who I had lunch with today? and I knew immediately that he had hooked up with my grand-daughter Shelby. She and her boyfriend were traveling through Seattle and they were up at SeaTac airport today heading out.
Shelby is now 23 and the last time Riley saw her was twelve years ago on the summer vacation trip we took down to California. Today they reunited and Shelby met Riley’s wife Jessica.
Riley texted me a photo later. The first thing I noticed is how pale my Shelby looks, heck she’s a Florida girl, where’s the tan? The second thing I realized is that I now had a photo on my smartphone text messaging that I wanted to grab and post here on the blog. What I ended up doing is buying an app ($5) from the Google Play Store that sends entire text sessions, with photos as attachments, to my email. It worked great!
