Shirley that is great news :-) I hope they will continue to do great for you and you will add more as time goes by. Grandparents breakfast went great. Except for the part that SO many were there...people were getting ugly about squeezing together a little so everyone has a seat. Forgetting that they had their grandchild right there with them and it was about enjoying the special moment. Picture will follow once I am home...have no upload cord with me. You are so welcome Lucy

I know how you feel... I'm watching my great grandson, probably everyday this week. He's three and is a busy busy boy...into everything and doesn't know how to walk...he runs everywhere.. I have a heck of a time trying to keep up with him. About the time I get used to watching him it will be over. I have to be honest here...part of how pooped I am is because we have two large areas in our yard that has a hill of dirt I've been trying to rake down and even out. One is an old burn pile spot. It is full of broken concrete blocks and pieces of metal. I've been pulling them out so it will just be soil there. We plan to have a nice round burn area, with block around it to have hot dog roasts and such. Anyway I put Marcus (ggson) to work. He actually did a lot of work. But so did I... But he got a whole lot more dirt on him than I did...8) Tomorrow I plan to have some of those long balloons to make balloon animals for him. And maybe a couple of kids garden tools to use...I had to keep my eye out to make sure the hoe didn't hit me in the head.

A side story-- I was at the post office today and there is a clerk who helps people with the machine that allows one to mail packages without going to the desk. I asked him why he didn't have a chair since he's on his feet with no counter to lean on all day, and he told me that he did have a little stool for a short time. But the customers kept thinking it was for them and he usually didn't have the heart to tell them otherwise. He said that when he did mention it to a man, the man spit on the chair and swore at him. Can you believe it?? He also told me that the next time he saw that same man, he (the clerk) was pleasant to him because that's his job and he was raised that way. Some people just never learned their manners + have a whole lot of anger stored up, I guess. How very sad.
