How Could I Forget?

This week we have been kid sitting our Ohio grand kids, and reacquainting ourselves with our grand cat Taylor (Swift)  and  our grand dog, which I mistakenly identified as a Labradoodle. Granddaughter Maddy requested that I clarify that Buckeye is a Golden Doodle.    When we visit we park in their back yard, with water  and 20 amp electric.  Since the weather has been very hot and humid this week, we have been staying in the house when we weren’t outside playing.  On at least one night of our visit, the kids beg to stay all night in our house.  Last night we decided to bite the bullet and brave the heat.  The kids didn’t mind in the least.  I forgot to take pix last night.  These were taken this morning.  The boys slept in back of our toyhauler 5th wheel,

Maddy opted to snuggled across one recliner. 

Each day this week one of the kids decided what to cook for breakfast with me as assistant chef.  On Wednesday Jude chose bacon and scrambled eggs, Maddy made banana chocolate chip muffins on Wednesday with sausages for Jude, Gramps and me, and today Simon prepared scrambled eggs and mini bagles.  After breakfast we had only half a day to play before they had to do chores and we had to get packed up to move.  The goodbye is only temporary.  We will return here in a little over a week.

Meantime, we drove our house to Greenville.  Our route took us through the pretty town of Troy.

Troy spreads several miles east to west, with a very pretty downtown area with lots of thriving small businesses here and larger businesses westward closer to I75.  The downtown square hosts different street artists each summer called Sculpture On The Square. 

This summer the square features Las Biciletas, Urban Art from Mexico to the World.

We went to Greenville to visit our friends Gene and Barbara.  We will park in their driveway for a week or so, helping them with their living room renovation, visiting, and playing games.

Tomorrow Gene will finishing laying the new wood floor, then we’ll help move in the furniture.

We’ll be enjoying this week of relaxation before plunging into the “Kid Frenzy” again next week.

Sleeping late tomorrow,

Louise and Duane
