Great-Grandkids didn’t get here until around 3:30 this afternoon. I had gotten off work at 2:30. Charlotte has her new red cast on so we had to re-sign it. I redrew cartoons of Ella and I. Lorelai had a ‘bug bite’ on her left eye and it was all red and swollen. The girls looked like they’d been in a fight with a broken arm and ‘black’ eye.

We took them to get ice cream and then drove around the resort hitting as many potholes as we could. They’d giggle their heads off everytime the truck bounced through a hole or over a bump. Who needs roller coasters and bumper cars? Not these kids.

Wednesday! Pie Rush Wednesday! What a great thing to have in the middle of the week! I don’t think we’ve missed going to Village Inn on Wednesday more than 2 or 3 times in the last year and a half. Buy a cup of coffee or an ice tea and get a free slice of pie. The wait staff love to see us come. Our tip is usually larger than our bill. We also like to take friends with us when we can.

Well, that was the highlight of the day, so – more later.

The day is just starting and it is very humid, 76 degrees and no wind.

Sky is gray and overcast. The good news: we didn’t have any storms last night, at least not in our area. Some pretty heavy rains to our north (upstream) so we are still experiencing flooding in low lying areas.

It’s 8:30 a.m. and I’ve been up since a little before 6. Coffee made, 10 grain hot cereal (with cranberries and raisins) fixed and eaten. Sat and drew RV designs for several hours. And now Mrs. Claus is up and eating her porridge.

I don’t have to be at work until 3:30 and she doesn’t have to be at work until 5, so we’ve most of the day together. I don’t know what we’ll do today – it’s all free time!
