Home Again, Home Again
As my son said at the airport before my departure for home, "Mom, this was just so wonderful. It was good for the soul." As I sat outside in the mornings, there is something about the fresh Michigan air that cannot be duplicated. We had a bit of rain one afternoon and evening and that was it. It was cool, but with a sweater I didn't even notice the coolness.
I continue to be amazed at Matt. He is such a wonderful father. He never raises his voice. When he asks the boys to set the table, they get up and set the table. When he wants them to fold the clothes from the dryer (yes, boys - ages 9 and 14) and they haven't done it, he just tells them not to forget that it should be done before they go to bed...done. He plays basketball with them. If one loses, no crying, no pouting....He praises them for how well they did. Praise...Praise...Praise. They don't have a lot of money. They don't "want" for a thing, and their house is bursting with love...What more could a Mom/Grandma ask for? Matt and Amber are separated and do get along well for the boys. At dinner Matt turns on very soothing Native American music. It was so relaxing. The boys responded to the music very well too.
Check out my Pictures. (None of us look undernourished!!!) I had a good trip back and it was good to get home. I think I'm back in the swing of things now. Today we had to take our big Siamese cat, Roy to the vet. He has a problem when he eats too much dry food. I won't say anything more about that!!!
