Welcome Wagon
12 мая 2022 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
Elizabeth helped me make some cards and I baked some cookies, then we walked around the neighborhood and met some new folks that have moved in recently.

Annie just walks on into their house. She has no fear.

One new family has 2 little kids and the littlest child has some major disabilities. Jackson, the 4 year old was showing the girls his new turtle his dad brought home for him.

The family across the street has 4 homeschooled kids. And Elizabeth and Annie were playing with them today.

I’m hoping to make new friends as folks move into the development.

So, as Phil has coined it that we are “Welcome Wagon”, but from the on-set, I’ve always wanted to be on the “welcoming committee”.Читать далее

Legacy Trail
12 мая 2022 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F
Glenn found this walking trail not too far from Brookshire Fresh store. Just a short stroll to the coffee shop that Aldo has a little “grocery store” for the girls to play in.

We had a picnic breakfast there after my zoom call. Perfect morning. It was hot yet. Girls love playing.

We had a conversation with a lady visiting her elderly mother.

Then we discovered the shaded playground at Brookshire.

Lunch was hotdogs and watermelon.

Annie took a nap from 2:30-6:59pm. Guess she was tired.Читать далее

Curlers and friends
14 мая 2022 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
I’ve been rolling the girl’s hair each night, just like I did for Ellen and Karen 35 years ago.

Normally Glenn helps me out by holding his iPhone playing a video so Annie is holding her head in the right direction.

And I had a “Grammie weak moment” as I bought these Buc-Eeyes toddler yard chairs. The girls have enjoyed playing with old toys that used to be Ellen and Karen’s.

Aunt Sarah came by to pick up Elizabeth and Libby for the night.

We went out for dinner with Phil and Bobbie at Clear Springs restaurant. Good fish.

Then they came over for dessert snd I showed them our set up here.Читать далее

A day with Amanda
18 мая 2022 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ 🌧 64 °F
I spent the whole day with Amanda. Ellen ran some errands with Elizabeth and then to the library while Emily and Annie stayed home with me, GrandDad and Amanda.

And I just rocked her, fed her a bottle and we both fell asleep for an hour or so.Читать далее

Bike ride
23 мая 2022 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F
We returned home Thursday night. We really didn’t stop anywhere along the way.

We listed to some podcasts and then I decided it was time to change our mailing address to our new Tyler address for our major accounts such as Mastercard, Visa, and airline accounts, hotel and all the many accounts.

So as Glenn was driving down the road, I was on the phone calling these accounts. Sure made the ride go fast.

Today, Glenn and I went bike riding. It was a fun ride and we rode all the way home. 8 miles. And it was overcast! Perfect weather. Glenn had to go back and get the RAV4.

So we had a great time with Annie and Elizabeth. They were very well behaved and went with the flow!

We called it Grammie Camp Okay because I would repeatedly ask Annie if she was going to obey Grammie and GrandDad, she would sprit out “Okay!”Читать далее

Mom and dad visit to Tyler
28 мая 2022 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F
Glenn picked up mom and dad and drove them to our Tyler house.

I fixed cornbread, beans, new potatoes, onions, carrots, fresh tomatoes and watermelon. We just relaxed and enjoyed our new house.

Glenn took them back home at 3:30.

Nice to have them here.

Today is mom and dads 73rd wedding anniversary.Читать далее
