keeping busy here, this old gramma....

We had a library/go out for ice cream day. Lydia loves the library...the dollhouse, the toys, and of course the books. Grant liked the library too, but his daddy Sam liked it more.

Yesterday we went on another outing, Char and Cam had to go to the dentist for cleanings. Sam and Grant and Jonathan went along too, and walked around in the small city during our appointment. Then, we went to Ollie's discount store. I had a 15% the total purchase coupon, so I stocked up on snacks, and got a new frying pan and a new electric kettle. The old one was dandy until I opened the cupboard and a glass bottle of hot sauce jumped right out of the cupboard onto that nice glass kettle.

We make almost exclusively pour-over coffee these days, so a good and fast electric kettle is almost a necessity:)

It's been busy here with Samuel and little Grant staying with us. He is up first thing in the morning, and he likes to keep toys scattered all around. He reaches things and find things and gets things. He is Mr. Sunshine, and likes to rock with me and get some cuddles in the midst of his going going going. He likes the doggies and the kitties, and has survived the week with nary a scratch on him. The dogs are Labs, lazy tired Labs, and they don't care a hoot if someone is patting or pulling or hugging on them while they nap. If they do get bothered, they just get up and lie down in another place, and let out a loud sigh.

Anyway. Sam is leaving here later today, and the high school girls have the day off. So there are eight of us here today...but don't worry, we have things to do! The red van is acting up again so I have to call the garage...again...ugh.
