It was Tuesday all day today.
There is so much good to say about today that I hardly know where to begin.
The high today was 71.
I know. I know. 65 is my favorite temperature, but I shall not complain.
Jonge and Famke came to play with me.
My dad came in the morning and played with us, too. Jonge and Famke had not seen him in over a month, and that was in the nursing home where they had a bit of anxiety over his oxygen and wheel chair. Today he was feeling great.
Pa left and we had time to watch one episode of The Wiggles and one Elmo's World. I slept during those.
I woke up when Uncle Youngest Son came. We had lunch with him. He stayed to play. His girlfriend came later, too. Jonge and Famke ADORE her, even more so now that she took them outside to play football.
Sometime in there good naps were had. Daughter came on her lunch break, but they were sleeping, so shhhhh, don't tell them!
By the time Pake came home, everyone was gone, except for Jonge and Famke. He happily took them for a walk around the block and to the soccer field to play.
From the soccer field THGGM saw Daughter arrive. He pointed this out to Jonge and said - Let's go say hi to her. To which Jonge answered, No, let's just wave at her from here.
Tonight, for no special occasion at all, THGGM took me out to dinner and thrift shopping. On a Tuesday. A Tuesday that was a GOOD day.
The only difficult part of my day was trying to come to terms with the death of an old friend. I had NO IDEA he was dead. Since I do not know WHEN this happened, I'm not sure how wise it would be to call his mom and ask. Especially since his father just died. Which is how I found out that he no longer lives, as the obit read, proceeded in death by a son...
Since there were so many hands on deck today I was able to begin stitching the little picture above. This transfer came from the free download from Vicki at www.turkeyfeathers.typepad.com I LOVE it! Just two birds left to go. Don't look too closely, as I'm not a very good with needle and thread. But, I'm still looking for ways to add in touches of red to the guest room, and this shall be one of them.

What a lovely day. And, "let's just wave at her from here." LOL What a cutie pie.
We were socked in with rain most of the day but there was close to a half hour break about an hour before my son arrived to pick the boys up. Cooper stayed in with Papa but Dylan and I bundled up and went for a lovely mud-puddle-splashing dandy of a stroll around the neighborhood. I dunno who enjoyed getting out more, him or me. Right when we got home the Heavens opened up and dumped hail like there was no tomorrow! I'd say we timed that perfectly. How many hours do you babysit?? You get so many little odds and ends done that YOU enjoy doing. I hardly find time to sit down for 10 seconds to collect my thoughts. I'm impressed!
