YEAAAAAAAA

Today I found out, (for sure) my Daughter and children are coming for a few weeks. YEA.

It has been a year and a half since we saw them and we wonder where did the time go. It does not seem that long, I talk to her nearly every day. She seems as close as the phone.

But seeing the person is so much better than talking on a phone.

They will be here July the Fourth and spend three weeks.

I tell her the sunshine will be good for her. Now if the wind would stop blowing, the weather would be perfect.

One plan we have, Teach the children to swim. The older ones can swim but the younger two can not. We hope to take care of that.

I must remember to pick up two more pair of water wings.

That is a big help for children, they can paddle around and feel relatively safe.

However I would NEVER leave the pool gate open, with children around. We keep it padlocked, Only when an adult is in the yard are the children allowed to go near the pool.

That is why we fenced the pool separate from the house.

I don't care how old the child is, anything can happen. Never take a chance with a child's life.



I also need to pick up a bottle of Swim Ear and and a bottle of Water Baby. No sunburns here.

I give my daughter a bad time, for leaving California. I tell her all time, we have better sun. Truth is California does have a higher percentage of sun than any state. However in our area, we also have a higher than average temperature. So you give up one thing for something else. Nothing is ever perfect. If it were, how would we complain?

So we are all excited here about the visit. Now I need to sit down and make a list, of items I need. For example my oldest granddaughter is eleven and has the build of a teen ager. She needs a swimsuit desperately. I want to find nutella for E and Pineapple for G. D I am not sure, I guess whatever is baseball, or some swim goggles, He will be in the pool most of the time.

We also plan on a trip to Washington pretty soon. Later this month. (perhaps the weekend of the 21st.) We have a busy few weeks ahead.

It has been over a year since we visited our son in Washington, but he was here in April.

However he did not bring my grandsons with him, We are suffering from withdrawal pains. No Joe or Nic or Josh for over a year.

Life goes on and we will take one day at a time, One day as god gave it to us. One day to rejoice in his beauty and glory.
One more chance to say I Love you.
Never miss the opportunity.
