Cards and Pizza

After a rest in the late afternoon at our motel, we drove to Walmart to get pizza, salad and breakfast stuff and then on to Tom and Ashley's apartment. Tom went right to work and heated the oven for the pizza and put the salad stuff together. We sat down for dinner, and later Ashley thought it would be fun to play cards. We used regular decks but played Five Crowns and had a wonderful time. We managed to play two sets of the game which Tom won both times. It was a fun evening, made more enjoyable by Harper. He did his best to entertain us and was a good boy throughout the evening until bed time. Even then he really was not fussy.

Tom and Ashley think that they have won the baby lottery since he is so good-natured and happy. They worry a bit that their next child might be quite different. Oh, to be young and thinking about a family. That part is a long way behind us, but we certainly enjoy this new generation as they carefully plan their family and include us, as well. We came away last night thoroughly enjoying this adult relationship we have with this set of grandchildren. What a blessing.

Today Tom works at Penney's, and Ashley is home with Harper. Later in the morning we will go over there to spend our last day here. Ashley wants HW2 to help her with a sewing project. HW2 was thrilled to be asked. Happy travels.
