Didi Twelve on the Twelfth

 She is turning twelve today! 



This gorgeous girl is my granddaughter Edita Marie who lives in Henley-on-Thames in the UK.


This summer, I got to see her after a couple of years of hiatus; among other things like canoeing and snorkeling, we went to an Escape Room twice! We did Merlin’s Wizarding Academy and The Hunted Pirate Shipwreck. Woo hoo!


Didi is how we call her, and she is sharp, curious, loves clues and mathematics. I had a great math teacher in high school whose name is Edita too. Coincidence? Not really. She could have been named Edith, which I didn’t love, but I’d felt good with “Edita,” which evoked a Russian model or a math teacher. Hahaha


Her brother Felix and she have a band and their own YouTube Channel and site: https://www.felixanddidi.com. He sings and plays the guitar, and Didi keeps a mean beat (math again!) 


She is a fantastic climber, but she may have missed a step. She is supposed to be wearing a sling today on her birthday for possibly breaking her shoulder from a fall at the gym bouldering—more X-rays on the way. 


But that didn’t stop her from trying her new Hoverboard (I had to look it up. It’s like an electric skateboard)


Didi has an invite to visit the west coast so let’s see when she will be hopping over the pond!


Happy birthday Didi!
