Enjoying the grandkids!

Yesterday we attended the Grantsville Days parade. Keith & Sandi were up for that. We have enjoyed keeping the grandkids here until Sun pm. Today we took all four of the grandkids to Alberts,( the Amish neighbor) and he was ready to give us all a horse and buggy ride through River Rd and then over the old Casselman Bridge since they are allowing non motorized vehicles over the bridge at this point. We had a lot of fun. Owen was not sure at first, but after we started moving was smiling. The weather was just great for it. We discussed what all they were seeing-flowers, river, cows, chickens, litter. They enjoyed hearing the horses hoofs hitting the pavement or gravel. They all decided it was plenty noisy. :0) We made a card with a picture of them in the buggy and they all signed their name to give Albert as a thank you note. Have a great night and enjoy the Lord's Day tomorrow. I will email some pictures. :0(

Relaxing eve

What a pretty evening! After supper, Mel & I went for a walk. The smells of freshly mowed grass and to see the flowers that are blooming, was very relaxing. I worked today and felt tired tonight, but the walk almost revived me. We put together a crib tonight!! We are going to use Doug and Tammy's crib since they no longer need it. We thought Owen could sleep much better to have bigger bed other than the pack-n-play. We had a cookout for Father's day Sun eve with Doug, Tammy, Dawson and Jasmine. We talked to Sandi that eve too and wished they could be here also. We ran some races with the kids and this ole lady ain't what she used to be. Wow! I think I paid for it on Monday. I have been continuing to try to get a picture on here. Sorry-- I will get it one day. I still think it is the dial-up because I have done whatever was suggested to me. Maybe when I use the laptop with the DSL in motels etc, it will zip through. Have a great night!

Summer has arrived!

Good morning!! It is a hot and humid Monday, but hey, the sun is shining which is what alot of us wanted. The flowers look like they are smiling this morning, the birds are singing and the sky is blue. We are all loved and cared for by one that knows what each of us are in need of and provides daily. What more could we ask for? (Maybe another air conditioner in the dining room?? :0) I have fans blowing in the kitchen. We have an AC for the bedroom which helps get a good nights sleep. :) We were up at pops last night for an early Fathers Day gathering. It did not suit some next weekend. We gave them a glider rocker for the front porch. They both claim they will use the porch more since they have something decent to sit on. This is the week school leaves out in GC so we will see more of Dawson at our place which sounds good. I think the kids are all ready for this to happen. I am doing laundry today and need to complete some church paper work for the files. We were reminded again of something else to do while on our trip. Edna talked of the Passion Play in SD but wasn't sure when it is. Of course, I needed to look it up on the net and sure enough, it is playing over the time we are near there! We heard of it before, but forgot about it. Thanks Edna for reminding us!!
We will check it out further. Must run along.
