Good Morning, All! Hope everyone is having a good morning, so far!
The grandsons are here as they usually are on my weekends off. We had a busy day yesterday after I picked them up - we dropped off the 4 legged grandson at home as I'd forgotten to grab his collar and leash, then headed to town to do the dreaded grocery shopping that I'd been too darn tired to do after work Thursday morning, and in too much of a rush to get to the pool to do Friday morning. Not sure if I was distracted while I was in the store - well, I'm SURE I was distracted with those two along lol! - but for some other reason I wasn't feeling like I needed to throw 5 or 6 of everything in my buggy, so we were out of there in record time and for under $50. The Chinese buffet had reopened last week so I treated the boys to lunch there - they were soooo excited to get to go - so we got the groceries packed in the coolers and boxes in record time and were there shortly after the doors opened. Pretty sure we got our money's worth as each boy went back three times, and then had dessert as well! The way they were shoveling it in made me think that they might be going through another growing spurt - I had them go downstairs after we got home and checked their height and weight and I was correct!
Older grandson has been earning some money doing chores at home, so when we went back in to our little town to pick up the pizza the boys and Papaw decided they needed for supper and had a little time to kill, we stopped by Dollar General. While we were there he asked if he could have a wallet as his money is currently in a baggie - I agreed that it sounded like he needed one, so allowed him to pick one out - and gave him a little folding money to put inside. Got home and he was showing Papaw his wallet so the younger one decided he needed something to keep his (non-existent) money in; Papaw was able to find a fold up pocket change holder in some of his stuff, and I told younger grandson he could have any change he could find in the van door pockets if he cleaned all of them out. He was excited to do so - and now I have to replace my Aldi grocery buggy quarters that I keep there
Oldest grandson is still down in Louisiana working to help get the power back on - says he is tired but is having a good time and learning a lot. One of the other guys took a photo of him up on a pole doing something with a transformer - made my knees turn to jelly - but I'm so glad that he is getting the experience.
I have been up and down off this barstool about 15 times (no joke!!) so I am going to go ahead and post this - maybe I'll get a chance to actually talk about prepping after Papaw gets home and takes them out to ride the motorcycles!
Take care, All; have a safe week!
