Grandfather

Marking another year with tea and joy and a white stone

Lewis Carroll, the author of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland," marked wonderful days in his diary “with a white stone” — an ancient Roman tradition — so let me say that Sunday, the final day of my 63rd year on the planet, is marked with a brilliant white stone indeed.

I got to spend it with my gracious and lovely granddaughter, Alice, who is almost 2.
