Isabella turns 16 in a few days and she sat down to talk to me about what's going on in her life. Since we really haven't talked since I saw her in August (except for some texts), there was a lot of ground to cover. And we did!

Isabella/Biz/Violet is LOVING school . . . .she's made some great friends and is loving her dance class. Of course, being Granddaddy, I had to ask her about the rest of her classes, and she dutifully reported in. When she told me she was taking chemistry (geez do I feel old), I told her the story of my chemistry class in high school and what I and some classmates did at the end of the year (it wasn't very nice).

We discussed what it means to turn 16 (getting her drivers license and getting a job - yeah!). When we discussed driving (she doesn't like driving near 18 wheelers on the road), I told her what happened once when I borrowed my mom's car for my paper route. The story doesn't have a happy ending.

Tune in for a great conversation . . . Biz/Violet is growing up!
