We eased into the day. I did my blogging. The girls arose around 10. It rained much of the day, on and off.
Papa set the girls up with an old games player. Isabelle and I connected it up, after a few tries. Iz wanted to play Bubble Bobble. We met with varied success. It was so funny.
My favourite game of the 80s was Q*BERT. We tried that. Hilarity ensued. I just couldn't get the controller under control. We laughed so hard, Josephine came downstairs because of the noise. Isabelle said it wasn't her fault she didn't do well. She grew up in the age controllers with more than 6 buttons, 3–D graphics, and open world settings, not this stuff! She is quite droll.

I told Jos that the tree frog was on the railing. It is so well hidden, she asked to play 'hot and cold!' That helped.
They did the garbage and recycling today, with Grampa directing traffic. Everyone helped tidy, the girls broke down boxes with me, they filled the dishwasher. Grampa said, "This is great, by week 34 they are doing garbage and recycling!" Grampa's arm precludes him doing garbage right now. It's been tough.
I watched the afternoon movie with them, in the basement. They finish each other's sentences; 'his brother...' 'Oh, yeah!'

...I am in the Adirondacks and enjoying the rain too.
It sounds like an enjoyable rainy day!
Cute little frog even if I wouldn't hold one myself.
Easing into the day sounds like a very good way to start.I grew up without TV, play games, laptops, an old fashioned phone on a party line, no fridge until I was about 13, and a bike with NO speeds,.The girls would find a life like this so hard to believe it actually happened. Your school hols sound wonderful, and help with garbage and the dishwasher, all good lessons in life for when they eventually leave home or Gramma Camp.XXX
As we're close enough I imagine you're having a cool day too. I was out in the morning and thought I should have opted for jeans.
