Fun with Grandpa:

A few weeks ago, April and I went to Manchester to do some shopping.  There is a shop there called Once Upon a Child.   It's  a used clothing store.  April takes the kids outgrown clothes there and sells them.  She does pretty good.
The kids stayed with Grandpa Dwayne.  They had fun by going to the feed store, stopping to get a bug juice and feeding the cows.  I think they had a little bit of rain free weather to ride in their truck.
They always have fun with Pa.   Iva was a little tired when it was time to eat.


We had a good day shopping.   It was hard to find a good spot to eat on Hwy 100.  We finally settled to Joe's Barbeque.   It was very busy and we had to wait.  The food was good, though.  It rained off and on all day, a very nasty day to be out and about.
On the way home, I saw a couple model homes that had Open House signs.  My friend, Sherie and I used to do this all the time.  We got off the highway and took a road that looked like it would go there.  Not!  It was a dead end and kind of spooky looking.  We tried to find a different way but apparently we should have gone back on the highway to the exit before.  I was disappointed.
Years ago, Susan, Sherie and I went to several Open Houses to look around.   We went in one house and I started upstairs and Sherie and Susan were going to look around downstairs first.  There was a lady in the living room putting items on the fireplace mantle.  We just thought she was the designer.  After a few minutes, she asked what we were wanting.  We told her we were just looking around. She had a dumbfounded look on her face and said, "I live here".  We were very embarrassed.  We didn't look at any other houses that day.
Another time I went with Teresa Wooley to look at model homes.   We went in the master bathroom and in the tub there was  huge blow up girl in the bathtub.  Scared us to death.  Ended our adventures for the day.  It's still fun to see the model homes and I hope to get to go to some more in the future.
Cash and April were playing around with Snap Chat.

Such cute and goofy pictures.
 
We had a good weekend and hope to have many more.  I am grateful for time spent with my daughter.

Easter Sunday:

We had the Elrod family over for Easter.  This included several small kids.  Friday, I had filled a trash bag full of eggs with candy.  It took me over two hours.  It was so nasty outside, we had the egg hunt in the basement.  Didn't seem to bother the kids, they had a good time.
 
 
 
 

 
 
We had a very good visit with everyone.  I am grateful for these Holidays spent together.
