Here we are in the middle of all of this magnificent fall weather. Never have I seen the trees and foliage more beautiful. It’s as though some unseen hand has taken a broad brush and painted the entire area like a canvas, with such a variety of colors and beauty.
 
In this post-election time, I de-brief myself by playing with Prince William in the back yard, sitting and starring at the fall foliage, watching the squirrels gather nuts while he hits golf balls. I started teaching him golf at two-years-old. Now at three, he can tee up the ball and knock it across the back fence. When he does, yells, “I knocked it to kingdom come.” I know no greater joy than observing the pride a small child enjoys when he accomplishes something new each day of his life, the spontaneity of sheer joy the child experiences with each thing he does that is a new experience. I feel so privileged to share some of these times with my grandchildren.
