Boring...Boring...Boring

I cannot believe that I have been so negligent in my blogging this week, especially since I have been home all week. Actually, I had so little to tell that I figured anything I wrote would be boring. That reminds me of my daughter, Kendra, when she was in the early grades. One day she came home and I asked her how school was. Being the smart child that she was and still is, she responded with an analogy. She frowned and, as she jumped up on her bed, she said, "School was just like my mattress...boring!...boring!...Boring!!"

I apologize but I cannot say I will do better next week. My siblings and I will be leaving tomorrow morning for a 5 day trip to the Amish county of Pennsylvania so I won't have access to the computer. I was told that the place we will be staying doesn't haven't WiFi. I will try to blog again next Thursday night or Friday morning after my return.

My older daughter came down Friday and spent last night with me. We stayed up until after midnight enjoying talking; then, today, we enjoyed a few hours shopping. It was a fun time we shared together before she had to drive almost 3 hours back home.

I mentioned in an earlier blog that I wouldn't be able to see my grandchildren again before I left on my trip but there was a change in plans. Since they had car trouble, they went to the lake instead of the mountains as previously planned. The first opportunity I had, I rushed down to see the 2 cuties. When I arrived, Mark was getting them out of the car and taking them to swim in the lake. They were so cute with their floats! When they returned to the camper, Clay had to show me all his Thomas the train pieces and Livvy had a little cars; however, she was more interested in a twist tie off a bag than any toy. Isn't that typical of little ones? Sometimes, I wonder why we spend so much money on toys when some little something is all they often want.
