In addition to my exciting Segway experience (see previous post), I spent time with our daughter, son-in-law and children.  I'm usually behind the camera - actually my cell phone camera.  As a result, I'm rarely in the pictures.   So it is very "sweet " to have these photos of myself with three of the five grandchildren in that household.  The tweets are some of the ones from my Twitter account  that challenged or encouraged me this week.

 Sweet!
