My wife often joins me in March when I have a longer stay in Barcelona. This time, longtime DU member blm told me that her daughter was studying there, and she would put us in touch, in case we all had time to meet up. It turned out that on Sunday, we all did.
So, a loud Catalan "Bon dia" from my wife and me, as well as "baby blm," who isn't much of a baby any more, to DU back in the USA:

Lovely photo! Lovely baby blm.

I miss her, but, love knowing how happy she is there while chasing that masters degree.
Thankyou.
And
.Thankyou to DU, MWO, and Bartcop.
Ava spent plenty of hours on my lap where we would Guggle various animal photos and videos. Remember when DU linked to Smirking Chimp, and the days of MIMS - Monkey In a Man Suit? Avas first day of preschool, the teacher pointed out a photo of the president and Ava loudly replied, George Bush is a monkey, ooo
ooo
ooo.
