So we had one last week of Summer Fun at MayMay’s house. We went to the zoo, the park,

Oh, Baby!

Rel Mollet Books, Family

So, first things first.

I’m a grandma. Again. It’s so fantastic.

And the best part is that right now, I’m in Italy with my son, Pete and his beautiful wife, Precious, cuddling my adorable grandson, Paxten Kevwe Warren.

We returned home from our epic five day drive from Florida yesterday. Twenty-six hours. TWENTY audio book chapters of Brandon Sanderson’s Oathbringers. 4 nutty bars, a bag of Cheetos and McDonalds… (I don’t know why I eat like a teenager when I travel. It’s like a Pavlovian response.

Rel Mollet Books, Family

Just to be clear, this isn’t me.

She’s much cuter. And I like her swimsuit better.
