OK I left town and once again I have no Internet capabilities so I have to catch up on Monday morning. I guess I will have to find some place in that part of the country to get on line so I can stay in touch! No chat no post no nothing.
Sherri picked me up at work and we headed to East Texas about 1:00. We had to make some stops in Mesquite Texas to pick up some gifts for our daughter, Jennifer, it was her birthday. Sherri got her some genes and blouses...these are things that Jennifer would never go and get herself...she just buys for the kids and she goes without most of the time. We thought it would be nice for her to have some nice clothes for a change.
Leaving Mesquite we headed to Terrell Texas to pick up some electrical supplies I needed to wire my shop. Home Depot was the destination of choice and we picked up all we needed in short order and soon were on the way to Tangier Mall for some balloons and gift wrapping. Yes we did it up right for our youngest...she always had a birthday week when she was young...and sometimes it turned into a birthday month! We lived next door to both sets of grandparents most all of the kids younger life. You can imagine what our kids were like living that close to the g-parents... yes it was some experience for us...we would not have had it any other way.
Speaking of g-parents next door...you can see where we are setting up our home base. HE HE... yes we are following in our parents foot steps...they are all in heaven now but we feel they have left us in charge of taking over their duties of spoiling ....Ya Think. We do pay for that privilege, however, by mowing the lawn and helping with laundry cooking cleaning home repair. with Frank on the road most of the time to hurricane devastated towns...as a police officer...Jennifer is left with raising 5 children and caring for the house hold task...plus she is attending the Police Academy on top of all that. So we don't mind helping out and we do get a kick out of spending time with her and the kids.
Well I have some pictures of our place in Wills Point. I cannot upload them here at work but I will post another entry tonight when I get home. Sherri and I have some errands to run when I get off work so it will be later on when I can get them done.
Until that time I will be here at the office wishing I was not here at the office and dreaming of being on the road Somewhere in Time.

What suckers we all are when it comes to our kids and grand kids. But, I know for a fact, that none of the 4 of us would do it any different. We might complain, but we wouldn't have it any other way, so you got for it!

I agree with Mark & Dortha. I can't wait to be closer to the grandkids. If your daughter will be gone as much as her hubby, you'll be taking care of 5 little ones all by yourselves. See ya on chat!!! Welcome back to civilization.
