Houston

I suddenly went to Houston on Saturady morning. I say suddenly because I hadn't planned to until Friday. Kelly had to go to a funeral and I went down to help Aunt Lulu baby sit with my grandson's. Realy Lulu did most of the work and I played with the boys. I love to play with them and pretend stuff. If is like being a kid again.

One thing I have noticed about kids. This was the same with my kids growing up. If they get cranky and fussy all you have to do is to take them outside and they will find some things to do and be happy. They don't care if it is hot and their little faces get all red. They will play with sticks, balls, bugs, water standing in a pail. They will play with just about anything they find outside and you generally don't have to get up out of a chair to play with them unless you want to join in. They are wonderous little people. The eighteen month old just wanderes around the yard aimlessly looking for anything to play with. Then if an airplane flies overhead he will wave to it. They are in their own world and it is just plan fun. I love those times in life when I can be with them. When it is time to go inside they don't want to go. They both cry to stay outside.

I think when you have kids of your own, like I had five of them, you just hhave so much to do around the house that you don't have as much time to jjust play with them. When they are your grandchildren it is an amazing reminder of when your own were little, but you have time to really look at the personalities and be amazed.

I didn't eat like I should have this weekend. I was OFF Saturday - way off and don't really want to weigh this morning.

I have to go exercise now, I just noticed that I am late to start. Oh well today is back to cottage cheese and peaches for lunch!!!!
