Better Than Dinner and a Movie....................

In my younger years, I was always thrilled to be able to get away for a night out but now having my grandkids(and children)all home at the same time means so much more. The dynamics change in our home once they are there! There is excitement, laughter, an occassional squabble and yes even crying but there is also something that makes a peaceful feeling in my heart, just to know that I am blessed with this extraordinary family.

We had a good weekend making invitations for Bill and Rachel's couple's shower. We went over to Brandy's and then went back to our house. We had planned on going out to eat but Bill brought the Wii over so we got subs and everyone took turns playing Wii, which is always a big hit with kids as well as the grownups!

On Sunday, we drove to Medford for Darlene's husband Jay's birthday party. It was at the park in Medford. It was a nice afternoon outside.

Last night I tried out our new lawn mower (I'm trying to be creative in getting a little more exercise done each day) It has an electric start and so easy to use!
Of course, I told Bill not to get any ideas of me taking over the lawn mowing!
