Gramma Camp – March Break 2023

Sunday morning dawned. It was time to change the clocks, spring forward. I arose at 6:44. JB shortly thereafter. I waited. It was 8, 9, 10 o'clock and no sign of the girls! Saturday, when Isabelle came upstairs in the morning, I asked if she wanted to watch cartoons! She giggled. Or rolled her eyes, I forget which!

 Izzy arose at 11, but they were both awake. Grampa went walking, then shopping. They wanted Gramma's Meatloaf for dinner and he had a list. We've just planned meals day-by-day.

We eased into daylight savings by watching Jeopardy in the late morning.


Grampa bought some NERDS for Josephine, and licorice pipes for Isabelle's sleepover party Tuesday night.

We did our nails! 

The girls watched The Secret of NIMH while working out on the exercise equipment. Jos was feeling nostalgic! She may be a tall 15-year-old, but the good old days...!

Josephine had her shower, then we settled in. I had a text that Momma and Papa were home from Picton. Dinner was meatloaf and roast broccoli and carrots. 

After dinner, we watched Murder on the Orient Express! It was fun. It was a late night, they didn't head downstairs for bed until 10! 


We weren't sure when we would have the girls. They are 12 and 15 now, and wanted to get together with friends. It turns out Izzy has an appointment Tuesday morning, and we will deliver them to the hostage exchange Monday after work.

Such fun video choices!

I'd love to lose the time change. I don't even care which time they pick as long as they pick one and stick with it.

I'd like to ditch DST and just stay with standard time.

You've had a lovely time with the girls, I'm glad they are still willing to spend time with you.

There comes a time when family is less important than friends. However, you see the girls so seldom,. I suspect they still get excited to be with you two.
