Gramma Camp – Wednesday

 We tried to watch tennis until the girls woke up. Three rain delays! Up before noon, 9 - 10-ish, Grampa and Isabelle went shopping for the pineapple stir fry for dinner.

While they shopped, and Isabelle took photos, Jos and I did some sewing. 


I had some issues with my left eye. While waiting to go swimming, and waiting for the phone call to see if I've an appointment, the girls waited patiently. 

Ta da!




















They collected some rocks.


It cleared out by 3:30.

Hustling home, showers were to be had. Then, dinner prep. We had the pineapple stir fry. Jos was in charge, I assisted, Isabelle was the sous chef. 

We were going to do barley, but it took too long to cook. The recipe called for cooked rice or barley. We chose rice. It was brown rice, though, better for Isabelle.  "How do we cook rice?" asked Jos. 

    "In the rice cooker! Easy peasey." 

    "We don't have a rice cooker at home!"

    "Oh, yes you do! He's called Papa!" He's a great cook!

It was a great dinner. We watched some Jeopardy shows. Everyone was happily tucked into bed.

I've an appointment for my eye today. I'm seeing floaters in my left eye. We'll see what is wrong.

I was passing by somewhere yesterday and saw coverage of rainy tennis.

Love the first ever sand castle on a lap! They do look like they have a fun time in the water...and at every project. Yummy sounding stir fry. Hope the eye issue is easily fixed.

I told my optometrist many years ago that I had black spots like flies floating in one eye " Get some fly spray" he joked. They were not serious, so hope your expert can sort out your floaters easily,Looks so warm there, we are at Taupo, going home today, and after days of wind and cloud, have a frost.
