It would be hard to write anything this month without mentioning the fact that we spent four days in Tucson this month visiting our daughter and her family...which of course includes the incomparable Audrey. I hesitate to join the legions of grandparents who pop out Yellow-Pages-sized photo albums when anyone asks about their grandchildren. I have tried to confine myself to the occasional Facebook album, and particularly sweet snapshots on this site.
The fact is, I am far more of a doting grandmother than I ever expected to be. That said, let me say that young Audrey is as beautiful and clever as ever, and is currently mastering the art of feeding herself. She is practicing walking, and I have no doubt that our next view of her will be on her own two feet, speeding off toward whatever has caught her curious eye.
On another matter (pretty much unrelated), I was particularly excited this trip to have found a cookbook with the recipe for the Arizona Inn's wonderful currant scones. One of the truly decadent pleasures of staying at the Inn is afternoon tea in the library--featuring all sorts of delightful little cakes and sandwiches...and the best scones ever. Even Audrey agreed--and spent some serious time on the lawn outside our room nibbling on one. (See above picture.) I will thoroughly enjoy attempting to reproduce them, I'm sure--maybe I can make them for Audrey's next visit to Virginia.
