Out of The Blue

Sunday afternoon and I am heading to Grampy's house to pick up Merry and David. Grampy took the two little dears Saturday afternoon and kept them overnight. Heidi and I are very lucky to have him.

We had a wine tasting party Saturday night. The wine was red and I drank a lot of it. Sunday was a disaster that left me considering the pledge, you know the pledge to hop on the wagon for a bit, the pledge not to injure your system again, the pledge that passes as soon as the cobwebs clear. Which was not until today.

I am thankful that I was only responsible for Thomas and he did not wake until 9 am. I spent the day doing dishes, feeling like crap and cleaning up. Then football.

I went to pick up Merry and David around 4 pm at Grampy's. For a change the kids were ready to come home. Merry was excited because we were having a new friend over for dinner. David was simply exhausted, he fell asleep on the ten minute ride home and was not heard from again.

Merry met Maddy for the first time in the middle of last week. Mom and the kids stopped by her house to drop off some stuff. They visited for twenty minutes or so. Those twenty minutes made quite an impression.

Merry was happy to get home and visit with her new friend, she told me "Dad, they do crafts at their house every day. They really know how to live!" I do not know where she picked up this saying but it did make me laugh.
