Here’s what I did on my day off from work.
First I went with Erik and my husband to see my middle grandchild take a swimming class. The class is held at an assisted-living facility, and Erik thinks it’s ideal because they keep the water warm, something babies appreciate as much as old folks.
Along the side of the pool is a long window that gives a view of the Seekonk River through the trees.
Then we went to watch Erik become a citizen. I have been to one other naturalization ceremony, which I blogged about here, and I feel qualified to say that they are moving. Today we had 32 new citizens from 19 countries.
The administrator who delivered the citizenship oath was surprised that there were two Swedes, unusual in Rhode Island. One was Erik. The other, an acquaintance as of today, may come with his family to tomorrow’s Santa Lucia at the home of a Swedish friend Suzanne met through the baby music class.

I came home and had to share the excitement. I called Ione (since I had been to her naturalization ceremony) and told her. She was delighted for us all and sent congratulations especially to Erik.
