WEEKEND

What a weekend! Since I have gotten older, if you can call 60 old, weekends just don't last long enough. This past weekend on Saturday, I helped my son-inlaw move the last of their stuff from our house in St Albans to Crab Orchard WV. He rented a u-haul truck in north Charleston. The u-haul guy, I think his name was Chuck, anyway this was one of the nicest people that I have ever dealt with at any u-Haul place. He was very helpful and made the whole experience of renting a truck better. I told him this and he seemed a little embarrassed.
I believe in letting a person know when they have done a good job, whatever that job may be.
On Sunday we all enjoyed the in-ground pool at their new house. My grandson Isaac had his 4th birthday party at the pool. His cousin Steven also shared the party for his 6th birthday. There were presents everywhere! The food and company were great. The pizza was from Sams club and was delicious. The water in the pool was just a mite cool to me but my daughter Cindy thought it was perfect. Of course if she had to break through a skim of ice on the pool to swim she would think it was "just right".

Their new house is just beautiful! All the bedrooms are quite large, and have nice closet spaces. The living room/dining room is wonderful with a large bay window in the living room. The floors are all new oak hardwood and so shiny you can see yourself in them. With two kids and two dogs and one cat, I hope they stay that way, but it will be quite a job for Cindy and Chris to keep them looking good. My favorite room is the large sunroom. I think about all their indoor entertaining will be in this room. It's like standing on a cloud with a great view of the valley below. Sunlight everywhere!

OH! I almost forgot to mention my other daughter Micki who practicly got off her sickbed just so she could attend her nephews 4th birthday. What a trooper!!

Hope all is well with you who read this, and remember to have fun on the weekends, Heck have as much fun as is legal on any day! Or at least mostly legal
