Some news of our friend Maggie

Most of you know who Maggie is, our little friend we visited in Ireland who lives just up the mountain from us. When I blog about her I call her Maeread, the Irish form of Margaret. It looks like she will become a big sister sometime before too long. Mary and Martin are talking about adopting a baby boy from Vietnam. There is still a lot of paperwork to go through, and then they will have to fly to Vietnam to pick up the baby, but we are beginning to think it will actually happen. Mary, who loves to cook, has already memorized the Vietnamese cookbook. Maggie is almost our grandchild, so we are both excited. When Laura first heard the news she blurted out "Oh good. Another child for us to spoil!"

We even mentioned the possibility of going with them to Vietnam, but that might be too much.
