Hearing and seeing our daughters and granddaughters all playing the violin together brought tears to our eyes. I well remember when I was the taxi driver to lessons, rehersals, performances, etc. I was so glad when my oldest daughter got her driver's license! But, I have been well rewarded for all the time I spent driving and waiting around, etc. I thought maybe "crow's feet" might have been an herb, or wild flower, or something I might call a weed. It will be interesting to hear what Dr. Rodriguez says.
