no grandsons

this week has been without grandsons, and it is so quiet. I even feel a little anxious, like there must be some where I'm supposed to be. but there's not. really missing Finn and Henry.
Knitted with the ladies on Wed, no bible study this week, cleaned at the church today. Worked hard on the red snowflake afghan, but it is lumpy, and I am frustrated. No word on extra hours at work, and no word from GE on Tom's resume. Cooked a chicken and made soup, and baked bread. (not on the diet, but ate one loaf all by myself anyway.) good to know, I remember how.
mom has been uncomfortable this week with her bowels, praying that nothing bad is there.
Heather is grumpy, we are driving her crazy, wonder if we can separate before she hates us.
Dusty and Leah's wedding is off. Good news, bad news?
Praying for all, including Betsey and Will, Jan and Sandy too.

grandsons

Last week was with Milo, the week before that Drew and Alivia, this week with Jake! Oh what fun!
Milo got a new/old train table last week, and left it here for Jake to play with! Who would have thought that a table would make life so much easier! All the pieces seem to stay on top! In our little living room, that means a lot!
Milo and I went to the library last week, and discovered Reader Rabbit. Jake met him today! What a great way to learn the computer. Me of course! Milo loved the letter train, and Jake can access all the games, and figure out how to play them. I am so impressed, both by how well the guys seem to know how to use them and how smart they are! I am sold! I would be tempted to get the game for our computer, but it is so much fun to go to grammi's library and play there! Plus we can borrow new books!
afterwards we go to McDonald's for a snack, or to CVS for a new jet. The train table has a landing strip, but Jake says that it doesn't work for helicopters, which is all grammi had in her collection!
