every now and then, i win one

My, this weekend has been a busy one.  On Friday, my grandson, Josh came to spend the weekend - that was BIGNESS, because it almost didn't happen for reasons I won't go into here - let's just say I won one..  I haven't seen him since...the summer, I think, and that was just too long to go without seeing my first-born grandkid.

As we were traveling to Durham and I was belting out tunes with 96.5 - The Drive - he asked me, How come you know all these songs? and then he said - Oh, because you're o..
and that is when i learned that this 8 year old child had learned not to tell women they are OLD.  He stopped himself just in time, gave me a sheepish grin and said - you sure do sing well!

Little charmer...

And so, we spent some time learning about each other all over again.  His favorite cookie?  Duhhhh, grandma - chocolate chip.  Favorite drink in the world is Sprite, favorite things to do - play video games and read, read read.  As a matter of fact, he left his copy of Harry Potter here for me to read so that next time he's here (which will be SOON), we can discuss it.

And waiting in Durham for us was his sister, Sara Pie, (my nickname for her, but she will quickly tell you - No, I'm SARA.  There is no pie involved).  She's 4 years old, and has attitude.  And she's quite bossy. 

So..the last two days have been great.

I MIGHT be absent for a while around J-land because..I still have to finish my Christmas shopping, do my baking, prepare for company on the 24th and sometime in the midst of all that, find time to clean the house.  I've decided to take a vacation day on the Friday before Xmas to do the baking....anyway - y'all take care, and I'll type at you soon.

Hugs.
