Two years ago our oldest granddaughter, thirteen at the time, spent three weeks with us.  Being a typical teen we were hard pressed to keep her entertained for the entire visit, but in retrospect I believe we all made some great memories we will treasure always.  There was the visit to Disney World, the trip to see our newest grandson in Jacksonville when he was less than a week old, several movies including one at the IMAX, a trip to the zoo, and so on.  We also went to the beach and while I was sun bathing, Erica was enjoying the water.  Grandpa was keeping an eye on both of us and snapping pictures for her to share with friends and family back in Michigan.
 Last Christmas my husband got me, among other wonderful things, a digital photo frame, which I have begun filling with many of my favorite pictures from the past and present.  It is situated so that I can gaze at it from anywhere in the room and as I was thinking about what I wanted to say in a previous memory I looked up at the frame.  At that moment the picture of our granddaughter below came up and this song started running through my mind.  Since then I can not see this picture without hearing that song in my mind.
                                          The girl from Ipanema goes walking
                                    And when she passes, each one she passes
                                                     goes "A-a-a-h"
