Last morning at the house on the hill. We three got up at 6:30.

As I was letting both dogs out to go, 

I noticed 3 bodies asleep in the family room. 

Grandhunk #2 asked if his friends could stay over? 

I asked if it is okay with your Mom? he said yes, so did I. 

The guys all have nice friends, many since they were little, 

and I get extra hugs.*

Fed the dogs & then we 3 went upstairs so I could shower. 

Laker immediately went into Zoey's crate to nap, 

Zoey however, was "full steam" and ready to play. 

She has a little basket of toys, so pulled out a raggedy monkey.

By the time I got out of the shower, Zo was playing with a 

 "head", the limp body was torn open and had to be trashed.

Once showered, dressed & packed, 

we three went outside so as not to wake the bodies. 

 

I brought my book & oj out to sit in the sun at the firepit.

Laker took a nap in the planter, I'd never seen him do this before?

He seemed to enjoy the sun and warmth?

When he finally got too warm, he moved to the shade.

8:30 am

James, one of the bodies, gave me a hug before leaving for work.

8:35 am

Next, Grandhunk#3 came down & a hug before leaving for work.

8:40 am

Next GH#2 & friend Chris emerged and left for work. More hugs. 

8:45 am

Garrett came down & gave me a hug before leaving for church.

* When my Grandhunks were little, I told them humans need 

8 hugs a day to survive, and since I lived alone, 

I would need to store up when I was with them. 

Luckily, they have always obliged.

10:00 am 

I loaded my stuff, woke GH#1 who was next on duty with dogs.

10:15

I left for brunch at Ann's house, just 6 miles away.

10:30 am

This was a BRUNCH to behold! 

An amazing array, two kinds of juice, coffee, tea ...

cantelope & blueberries, salad, warm croissants with

four jams and jellies, egg casserole, bacon and

two kinds of sausage! Wow! And after we 4 finished

we talked a while and there was a dessert! 

Of course there was?

A ramekin of fresh strawberries, tart creme & orange zest.

Another of Ann's talents, she's a wonderful hostess.

3:30 pm

Drove home, unpacked and took a nap. TMI?

A smile for Monday ...
