We spent the weekend awhile back with our sweet daughter, son in law, and grandbabies. It was such a treasure to listen to Gracie talk...We asked her, when we arrived the day before her birthday, when her birthday was, and she would reply, "In two seconds!" She had some tummy troubles, but nothing kept her from enjoying her new birthday dress that Mommy had made, her witchy decorations, her yummy cupcakes, and her requested meatball dinner. She said over and over, "This is the best birthday EVER!" We got to have fun with Adam without uncles who play video games much better than we do. We were playing some driving game with Gotham in the title (Sorry, Adders....Grammy just doesn't remember what it was called!!!) I was actually figuring out how to drive the car in the right direction. I was almost at the end, and grandson was terribly excited, when, out of nowhere a car came pummeling at me, going the wrong way, I might add, and stopped my efforts. Thanks Papa!! :) Papa is a good guy...always looking for treasures for his kids and grandkids at yard sales. We found this desk calendar...a paper airplane a day...and Papa made at least 40 planes, each unique. (So sorry, sweet dear daughter, for turning your lovely home into a paper airplane airport!!!)We got to play games, do a puzzle, blow bubbles, pretend we were kitties and cows and birds, play soccer...And sweet son in law came home from a long hard day at work and barbequed chicken and ribs we had brought from home. The trip home was safe, but too soon...and we found our old bodies very, very tired from two trips: to Utah and Nevada...in the car in two weeks time. Someone asked me what we were doing for labor day, and I told them ANYTHING that did not involve sitting in the seat of a car and driving (though, of course, I had to drive Nate to and from football practice! North Pointe Football knows no vacation days!)
