Gramma camp 2.1

Yes, Gramma Camp 2.0! They toddled off nicely Tuesday night, and slept in until 6 a.m.!

Wednesday, 6:30 a.m. – cartoons

They are almost recovered from jet lag. Grampa came out of the bathroom and two girls were reading on the couch. Cartoons, Grampa!
We had coffee, the girls vegged out.
Hooper was missing. Grampa went out to look. The girls made toast. Breakfast on the back deck.

Jos and Gramma went looking in the forest. Nada. We walked through the forest to the far end of our 3rd lot. It was a long walk, hot, and fruitless. Grampa had already checked the road.


Grampa and Gramma went out into the backyard, and finally heard him 100m away in the back.
We all sat down and tried to breathe.


Grampa and Izzy were going in to shop. I was brushing Isabelle's hair, in prep for their trip into town, Grampa said, "Izzy you have nice hair!"
     "So do you, Grampa," piped up Josephine from the kitchen.
Grampa disappeared into his office, then returned looking like this.


Isabelle and Grampa were going shopping. Izzy put Beebee (her sleep toy) in the chair. I asked, "Will Beebee watch TV while you are gone?"
    "Yes, she has special eyes that can see the TV even when it isn't on!"


Out shopping, someone ran the shopping cart into Grampa's heel. He skipped his walk the next morning.
Josee did her art: melted crayon.


Afternoon PPV movie: Avenger's Infinity War
Grampa watched his tennis game at noon. Then gave the TV up.
Izzy (8) watched the gory stuff, covers her eyes with the mushy stuff. Josee (10) is just the opposite! Grampa was watching his tennis on his iPad and said, "I don't mind the violence, but that mushy stuff is awful!" and left to do an errand.

Josee took photos of Hooper.


Izzy took photos of Annabelle and Daisy. Daisy doesn't like having her photo taken.


Grampa brought in the mail. My Monarch butterfly tags arrived! It might be too late. They may have gone south. Our last two caterpillars have disappeared. Izzy was the scribe with the clipboard. Jos the catcher. We only saw ONE, and we missed.


I sent them to the back 40 to check the goldenrod. Isn't this cute?!



As we were working, checking back, middle and front yard flowers, we heard thunder and had to go indoors. Only 3 mm of rain, but two barn were leveled in Franktown. THese are from the lightning maps. We watched them. The power only went off once.


Dinner was chicken fajitahs. It went over well. We had our mug cakes, with a dob of ice cream, for dessert. Bed by 7:00!

Gramma & Grampa relaxed watching Shapovalov, feet up! I did run out to take sunset photos.

Feet up at the end of another very busy day, so glad Hooper was found, the tennis, do any of your cats even sit and watch as the ball goes back and forth? I see he won his match.

Isn't it just like a cat to get you all worried for nothing?

Beautiful sunset shots!

Apparently the power outages included the printing presses at the Citizen. Today and tomorrow's papers are to be delivered tomorrow.

I imagine Grampa might have really had hair like that at one point … what a delightful age to have the girls with you - they are interested in everything - how fun that must be!
