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 ...
