Taking it Easy

Grandma and Grandpa (that’s Donna and Russ to the rest of you!) were plumb tuckered today.  After a day at the lake and a day at the coast we were ready for a day at home.  At least we got a good night’s sleep last night.  After not getting a solid sleep since the fiasco at Sisters, we were about bonkers.  FINALLY last night there were no boomers and the dogs slept.  HALLELUJAH!  I was beginning to think they were going to suffer from PTSD for the rest of their lives – and that’s no joke!

So we started the day with me making a nice breakfast for Tim.  We don’t see him that often so like to spoil him a bit when we can.  Besides, that boy needs some meat on his bones.


He scarfed down two eggs, two WHOLE waffles, a big chunk of ham and a glass of OJ.  That’ll help fill him up (and out!)  Late in the afternoon we went out to pizza and that was enough to keep us for the day.

This evening Tim returned the favor by cutting some low hanging limbs off a cedar tree that were obstructing the front walkway.  He worked for a couple of hours on this project and cleaned everything up and even swept the walk.  We sure appreciated the help.

Tomorrow is Tim’s last day with us so hope we find something special to do.  He says just relaxing for most of the day was fine with him.  He has to go to work tomorrow night so he’ll have to leave here in time to get to the job.  It’s been a nice visit and we are always thankful for time with the grandkids.  Just wish summer was a little longer so we could see more of them.
