unedited for 100 days. Day 25

We often listen to the French Cafe Radio station on Pandora. It has that chill euro vibe, which I'm not ashamed to borrowing from time to time. Deep down in this little suburbia heart of mine, I feel I belong to the cobble streets of Paris. While Kirkland, WA is certainly not Paris, the local coffee shop makes a good cappuccino which is good enough for now. Along with the local wine shop which we frequent with our baby and dog. Today we enjoyed some bubbles at our regular hangout after a long walk in the nearly spring-like air. The good vibes continued once we returned home, accompanied by French Cafe Radio as we started to prepare dinner. This station rarely branches out to anything beyond French, which is largely why I love it. Not to mention, we have put hundreds of hours into this station and typically hear the same songs cycle through like a stream of hulu commercials on repeat during a single show. Sure, it could have been the light champagne buzz, but it equally could have been a sweet visit from my late grandpa. Frank Sinatra began singing through the speakers. I'll be seeing you" he sings, and I immediately get a rush of goosebumps. Grandpa loved this song and it is one he recited frequently. In this particular moment, I was feeling especially grateful while watching my one year old daughter make a mess of the kitchen cupboards and my husband butchering the chicken for dinner. It was as if Grandpa was saying "I see you happy my dear, and your family is beautiful". Papa never met my husband or daughter, but I have a sense that he is a part of our love.
