Number 90: The Much Anticipated but Most Unexpected News

In this year of so many different things this post is a standout.

We have celebrated the wedding of our son; the second birthday of our grandson; we have travelled extensively adding new countries and new destinations to our global travel; we have walked wherever we found ourselves and did some incredible hikes in Sicily, Austria, Italy and Tasmania; we have eaten gorgeous food and drank interesting gins; visited family in Malta, Australia and New Zealand; spent time with dear friends from all over the world; I have birded and baked and knitted and quilted and taken in amazing art spaces; bought a new car; and so on and so on. The list is getting to the magical 100.

But!
Two babies due within days of each other, that was completely unexpected.
This is what is called abundance. 2019 is going to be a very special year for Fred and me.
