Seanie & Laura

My second oldest grandson, Sean, and Laura, his steady girlfriend of four years, came over for Ian and Medea's wedding. Sally and I loved meeting Laura. She's a school teacher and a warm, lively young woman--a good match for the sweet, effervescent kid I used to call Seanie Bubbles when he was a toddler. Sean is working his way through university in Glasgow, and he now manages the bar where he started as a bartender/waiter. He LOVES acting and all matter of entertaining, and he snagged a role in "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" when he was but a freshman. Laura will have a new challenge in the fall when the new year starts: she'll be teaching 2nd graders with emotional problems [that's most of them, dear....]. Sean says they hope to buy a house together in the fall. Can't wait to see it.

None of the photos I took of them at the wedding turned out, but Sean sent me this one today, taken of them in the Sears Tower last week. They did all the tourist things in Chicago while Ian and Medea were honeymooning in Toronto. [Xtreme English hopes to heck Ian and Medea went to the AGO!!!! a breathtaking museum. I had to go outside and sit in the hall to recover a bit from seeing the magnificent HUGE ROOM FULL of Henry Moore sculptures on the second floor. The Breughels on the first floor wiped me out.]

Anyway, aren't they a lovely pair? Even Lake Michigan looks good in the background.
