Sunday was Father's...
Day, in case you missed it. Both of my young'uns came to visit along with the grand young'uns. We went to the "fimmin pool" and had a grand time with a cook-out (hot dogs on the grill, three kinds of mustard, potato salad and watermelon) and the weather was just what perfect summer Sunday afternoon weather is supposed to be. We had to drag both of the little ones out of the pool to make them eat but by the time we got to the really nice watermelon Wendy brought they were seriously conflicted over water vs watermelon.
The kiddie pool was beneath notice to Rachael (nearly 6) and Abbie (2). Both of them got themselves in over their heads in the shallow end of the big pool and had to be snatched out by adult hands Both came up spluttering but more surprised than upset. After clearing her eyes, Abbie, the youngest at a bit over two, immediately proclaimed to all interested by-standers that, "Abbie fimmin, Abbie fimmin!"
It was great having them all here and it was a great time in a quiet Southern small town way and then Gwampa needed a serious nap...
Sigh....sounds wonderful. Makes me long for grandchildren. Well, kinda....my kids just graduated high school Friday night, so the other part of me hopes that doesn't happen for a while!
