" THOSE GIRLS ARE SURE CUTE " !!!

MIKE AND I ARE TRULY ENJOYING OUR GRAND CHILDREN'S VISIT SOOOOO MUCH!!  I THINK IT HAS BEEN REALLY GOOD FOR MIKE.  THIS TRIP HE HAS HAD MUCH MORE ALONE TIME WITH OUR SON, AND I KNOW HOW HAPPY THAT HAS MAKES HIM...  IT IS GOING TO BE A SHORT VISIT (ONLY TILL WEDS.), BUT WE ARE GOING TO MAKE THE MOST OF EVERY MOMENT.  THE WHOLE FAMILY IS GOING TO AQUATICA TODAY WHILE MIKE AND I GET CAUGHT UP ON OUR REST.  I WILL BE MAKING SOME SPAGHETTI AND MEAT BALLS FOR ALL  OF US TONIGHT FOR DINNER.  MIKE JR. MOWED THE LAWN YESTERDAY, (CAN YOU IMAGINE COMING ALL THE WAY FROM CA. TO MOW OUR LAWN?!?!).  HE ALSO  HAD A TALK WITH MIKE ABOUT HIM GETTING IT DONE ONCE A MONTH FOR US.  MIKE HAS GIVEN ME A FIT WHEN EVER I HAVE TRIED TO HIRE SOMEONE TO DO JUST THE BACK YARD!!  I TRY AND TELL HIM HE HAS HIS HANDS FULL WITH JUST THE FRONT AND SIDES.  I REMIND HIM THAT HE IS NOT 20 YEARS OLD ANY MORE, AND HE NEEDS A LITTLE HELP NOW WITH THE YARD.  I SURE HOPE OUR SON WAS ABLE TO GET THROUGH TO HIM.  AT THIS POINT, HE WILL LISTEN MORE TO HIS KIDS, THAN TO ME.  WE HAVE ALL OBSERVED THAT MIKE IS GETTING MORE FRAIL.  HE WALKS AT A MUCH SLOWER PACE THAN BEFORE-UNSURE OF HIS STEPS.  HE MAY BE AFRAID OF TAKING ANOTHER  FALL, LIKE HE DID ABOUT A YEAR AGO.  BROKE HIS MIDDLE FINGER. ALSO HE FELL IN THE FRONT YARD, AND I HAD TO TAKE HIM TO THE E.R. AS HE HAD A GASH ON HIS HEAD.  I'M JUST GLAD HE IS AWARE OF ALL THESE THINGS, AND YET CONTINUES TO BE OK WITH IT ALL.  I WILL CLOSE WITH AN APOLOGY.  SO SORRY I HAVE MISSED A FEW DAYS OF POSTING, BUT I HAVE BEEN HAVING SUCH A GREAT TIME WITH MY SON & THE WHOLE FAMILY THAT I AM POOPED WHEN I GET BACK HOME.  I WILL GET BACK ON TRACK WEDS., AS THAT IS WHEN MY SON, LAURA, LILLY, AND AUTUMN WILL BE HEADED BACK TO CA. SO TILL THEN-SQUEEZE ALL THE JOY YOU CAN OUT OF TODAY-JUST ME
