Kait, Granddaughter

If you want to know how the stained glass trip to Albuquerque went, then please read HW2's blog for today. She did a great job of bringing you all up to date.

It was great fun to help Jerry and Marlene with their Fantasy Football party tonight. We helped barbecue the chicken and later on cleaned up in rapid order. We seem to be able to clean after lots of years of practice. Kaitie, our granddaughter, was a terrific help and helped entertain the kids at the party, watching them while they went swimming. She also made the most delicious brownies, and her grandad has probably gained five pounds from them alone. Several years ago in a class project, Kaitie made a Scotty stuffed animal, which was very well made, and later given to her Grammy as a present. We have it to this day, and it will likely accompany us on our happy wanderings.

Many years ago when Kait was in elementary school, her mom called and wanted to know if she could spend the day with us, since she was not feeling well. She came supplied with school work and started the day on the couch. By lunch time, however, she was feeling better, and we decided to take her out to lunch at her favorite restaurant, which turned out to be Macaroni Grill. On the way home we had to stop at an estate sale, and she found a doll bed that she just had to have. All in all, it was a great day. When her mother came to pick her up and asked how the day went, we happily related the day's activities. Somehow, her homework never got done, though. We three had a great time and still remember it fondly all these years later. It is such fun to spoil a grandchild!
