Okay, this funny box really had us going.  I kind of like the cat with the ash tray.  And those dogs!  Can you imagine the contortions a normal dog would be doing, trying to get at the food on his back?
 

This gift was a hit.  It gets about ten minutes of run time off a 90 minute charge, but that's about perfect.  Lots of excitement.

Then they bedazzled the man.  He didn't mind.

The new barbies found a fan.  She had that helicopter loaded up.

And this guy in the middle of his cousins--I wondered what kind of cousin experience he might have, being so much younger than the rest.

I am happy to report, it is successful. He's having a great time and they're indulgent and kind.

Monday she got her other grandpa to give her a ride over so she could help with the kids.  It's pretty slow going, not exciting AT ALL, but here she was, patient and kind.

First he mentioned she was from the cabin.

True.

Then he called her Kari, which was also funny.

That works.

Onward.

Nothing but love, Grandma

 This new puppy, Willow, came home on Sunday night.

We hear she's sleeping okay.  That's kind of a miracle.

Ahh, you lucky puppy, here's to the many years of friendship ahead.    Love, Grandma
