The last three weeks have been everything a Mother/Grandmother could ask for. We spent almost a week in Seattle with our 16 year old granddaughter and from there, I flew to Minnesota for 2 weeks. There is really nothing more special than spending time with dear grandchildren. Justin was out of town for the most of those 2 weeks, so I spent my time helping Kathy with the children and doing just general help wherever I could. After 2 weeks though, I realize there is a reason that God planned that we should have our children while we are young! It is exhausting work being a mother to young ones! Justin and Dave did some planning behind Kathy's and my back! Dave flew in and surprised us for the last week. What a surprise. Kathy and I were upstairs doing something at about 10:30 PM when there was a knock on the backdoor. It really scared us so we went down together and I suggested that she get the larger of their 2 dogs to go with us; but guess what the "big" dog had allowed Dave to come in and was standing beside him!
During my time there, we had to say Goodbye to a very favorite kitty. She had contacted feline leukemia and there is nothing that you can do for them once they have it, and because it is contagious, they have another cat that they didn't want to get it, so unfortunately, there was only one thing to do for the poor thing. To Furby, with much love~~~
