i am so grateful for the women in my life, my mom, and grandma, and that i have been able to grow up with their love and instruction.  let me tell you.  these women are incredible.  they can cook like no one's business, create beauty out of anything, and love even when you're extremely unlovable.  and those genes, wow, i'm a lucky girl.  (i bet you can't guess how old young my grandma is!)
since life has been so much busier for all 3 of us lately, the time we have together is even more precious and something to treasure.  we spent the afternoon at Hillwood Estates in D.C. last week celebrating my grandma's birthday.  it couldn't have been more lovely.  that rose garden was. beautiful.
and what day isn't perfect when you end it with georgetown cupcakes?! 
i love those women, and admire them. so. much.
