Grandchildren

Oh, I feel like the old woman in the shoe -- had so many children she didn't know what to do, but to play with them, pick them up, kiss them, feed them, read to them and put them to bed. This weekend we drove the RV up to Jon & Alicia's in Bristol (NB, not England), and Doug was able to back up the mountainous driveway and find a semi-level place where we parked for a couple of days. It was very warm on Saturday and frigid at night, good sleeping weather. A gorgeous view of the Saint John River. Chickens in the backyard pecking and clucking, gardens growing. Who could ask for more?

Then Sunday we ventured home to get ready for the rest of the family. RCMP man, Natalie, Aiden and Sarah arrived at 4:30. We parked the RV in the yard and Doug and I made our nest in there for the week. Sarah's smile lights up the room. Aiden is his usual bubbly self, a very active three-year-old. It's good to have them home again.

Now we're planning a trip up river again -- to Jon & Alicia's so all the cousins can play together. Should be a crazy time!
