Another Day

Thursday already! It certainly doesn’t take long for the week to disappear. And yesterday flew by while two of our grandchildren visited. We picked up Karlee and Kyle around 8 in the morning and took them home. It was raining heavily at the time so there weren’t any outside play activities available. Kyle and I found some stuff to do in the garage for awhile and Karlee colored with her new gel pens. Also during this time, the cat took a mental beating as the kids pursued her in their vain attempts to hold and pet her. She’s a good natured cat, so no injuries resulted. Soon it was lunch time and shortly after that, a wrestling time in the front room. The best time came when I, seated on my comfortable chaise, had two children and a cat for company in that spacious chair. We practiced being “Quiet” for a few minutes and it was great. I even got in a real catnap. Of course it didn’t last very long; they are 5 and 7 after all! And then the cat suddenly decided that beneath the hutch looked like a more promising place to nap. Day over!

Next week promises more of the same…sort of. The twins, aged 2 years and 10 months, are coming to visit for a week. They are not identical twins, and even if they were, they have wildly divergent personalities, making for an interesting week ahead of us. But I have a feeling that I will get another chance to share the chaise with grandkids and cat and that’s always nice.
