Sam's Peops: A Few First Timers

There are some key peops in Sam’s life who have not appeared on the blog (and some of those still aren’t—hopefully a trip to the west coast will somewhat help with that). But this entry includes some of Sam’s favs—Great-Uncle Billy, our Starbucks buddy Mary, and Ava.

 

Ava is Sam’s first friend—they’ve attended music class, concerts, farmers markets, etc. If this is starting to read like a personal ad—SWM dates SWF that’s because their relationship has been prearranged (or was that preordained). If you notice behind Sam and Ava are two looming presences—the Grandmothers/Chaperones. Please don’t let me give you the wrong idea, I don’t think my mom and Nancy (Ava’s Grandma) have been conspiring: I’m not suggesting, they might have met with Cam Miller (the officiant at both Ava’s and Sam’s parents’ respective weddings) to perform some sort of joining ritual; nor would I want anyone to think, Mom and Nancy are staging a revival of “Matchmaker” although I have heard Mom humming, "Matchmaker Matchmaker make me a match”. And it has been noted that Ava is older than Sam which is the way of both sets of their parents.

 

What I am saying is--they are friends and very sweet together. Last week Sam pushed Ava in her stoller around the Bidwell’s Farmer’s Market. That’s all I’m saying.
