a bald eagle

 

Jake Barrington Hollingsworth

 is my

first-born grandson.

 

He is one-of-a-kind,

a leader.

A confident, fearless,

born to go places little guy.

 

One of his weak areas, though,

is that he is at times

completely oblivious.

If you point out a bear standing right in front of him

he may look to the right

 and the left

and he may not see the bear at all.

 

Today,

while driving away from the

Chick-Fil-A in Williamsburg,

he miracuously spotted

 the bald eagle

that you see in the picture above.

Maybe he is developing a keen eye after all, Amanda.

 

I talked with him on the phone this morning.

His first question was,

"Grammy, is that red stuff still all over your face"?

When I told him

that my face was mostly healed up,

 he gave a shout of joy

 and told his little brother Eli

 the good news.

Both were exuberant.

I just love their love for me.

 

I also love nature

 and bald eagles

and getting to share all of that

with my grandbabies.
