hello scouser
2:14 am
rubyfoo
do you finally have spring? Ours was so late in coming, I had practically abandoned hope
2:16 am
scouser
spring sort of dashed past us and we had a couple of summery days in the week. Now it is rainy and cold. lots of flowers out - a good year for ceanothus I think, some fabulous blue shrubs here.
2:23 am
rubyfoo
I'm back,had to shut down and refresh
2:23 am
rubyfoo
I don't know that plant,but we have lots of roses and peonies asnd there are still iris and tons of pelargonium.
2:24 am
rubyfoo
The fruit is suffering,though, and the tomato plants are sad and shriveled
2:25 am

uh oh, dh is bback and I have to go

good morning/evening Babblers----Hi Sprite
3:06 am
sprite
hi puglet :)
3:07 am
puglet
is it morning or evening for you?
3:07 am
sprite
morning... just after 10 am
3:08 am
puglet
its 4 am here
3:08 am
sprite
ouch... insomnia bugging you?
3:09 am
puglet
Iam always up by 3
3:10 am
sprite
did you hear anything from Gradyn yet?
3:11 am
puglet
so far his mom hasent contacted them
3:11 am
sprite
so he is still with his dad?
3:12 am
puglet
yes---I hope he stays there
3:12 am
sprite
that would be the best solution of all
3:13 am
puglet
yes, until his mother can change her ways
3:13 am
sprite
yes, and when Gradyn is older, things aren't as difficult either
3:15 am
puglet
That will be good. He needs the chance to just be a little boy without carrying adult problems..Life is hard enough without all that
3:16 am
sprite
so very true. And when he is older, it will be easier for him to say he doesn't want to go, or to stand up to her and go to your sister.
3:18 am
puglet
I wish I knew how to help his mother but she dont even speak to me--she was up in church--so she knows right from wronge--I just dont understand her
3:19 am
sprite
people can only be helped when they are ready for it, I think.
3:20 am
puglet
He use to be afraid to play outside at his dads before he got him.Afraid his mom might see him doing anything
3:20 am
puglet
thats true but Iam afraid it might be at the cost of her boys
3:20 am
sprite
sounds like she did quite a number on the boy :(
3:23 am
puglet
Yes, I think she has. He likes to see her now and then, but he dosent like to stay with her for any time. I really think he is afraid to love her to be honest for she has hurt him so much
3:24 am
sprite
all I can say is I am grateful he has such a good protector in you, puglet
3:25 am
puglet
thanks but theres only so much I can do. I think all kids should have a chance to just be kids
3:26 am
sprite
I agree, and so many of them don't get that chance. But, having been there, I know that having an adult who takes you seriously and tries to protect you and tell you good things about yourself makes a LOT of difference.
3:29 am
puglet
thank you for that Sprite--Its nice to know what little I do may help in the long run. I was so hurtful to my heart to see him reaching out for me when he was younger ,wanting me to save him from having to go to his mom after she got out of school or work--and I couldnt do anything
3:30 am
sprite
he will forever know you are in his corner. You proved that clearly when you spoke up for him in court. That is priceless.
3:33 am
puglet
I just hope he grows into a good young man.
3:33 am
puglet
Do you have kids Sprite
3:33 am
sprite
I have 2. A boy of 17 and a girl of 15 yo.
3:34 am
puglet
OH poor you TEENAGERS! lol
3:35 am
sprite
*grin* Most days are ok. They are good people. Just total aliens some days... when the hormones rule, good sense is nowhere to be found, lol.
3:36 am
puglet
these are hard years to attend too. Iam so glad those years are over for me
3:38 am
sprite
my husband and I will be happy when they will be over for us too... it is taxing. But we try to enjoy them too. Seeing the kids grow up to be good adults is a great thing.
3:39 am
puglet
I can remember my parents thinking I was an alien too during my teenage years too--lol
3:39 am
sprite
wb ruby, and hiya
3:40 am
rubyfoo
yay sprite and little pug are here!
3:40 am
puglet
If you dont mind me asking Sprite do you have a relationship with your parents now adays?
3:40 am
rubyfoo
just bback from a haircut, DIL left early this AM and it's sunny again
3:40 am
sprite
I think most teenagers are aliens, lol. It is a world apart from ours.
3:41 am
puglet
HEY RUBY!!hugs to you---it is so hot and muggy here I wish for winter already
3:41 am
sprite
no I don't, puglet. I do have the occasional contact with my mother, but only when necessary. I have corresponded for about a year with my father and then had to cut him off again.
3:42 am
sprite
did you enjoy her stay, ruby?
3:42 am
puglet
thats so sad for you Sprite--they have missed out on your family too I guess
3:43 am
rubyfoo
it was an excellent visit and I think her dad was invigorated a little by it. For me, there is no baggage, so it is just pleasant and she helps a lot and makes no demands.
3:44 am
rubyfoo
And last night I made the best ;gazpacho of my lifew!
3:44 am
sprite
I have allowed my mother to be a grandmother to our children, under strict rules. She lived up to them and the children enjoyed her company when they were small. When they grew older, they started to be bothered by how selfcentered she is though, and decided not to go stay with her anymore.
3:44 am
sprite
awesome, ruby. Just what was needed. Is your stove back to working order yet?
3:44 am
rubyfoo
she made me write down my recipe (which was all just in my head), so now it's in e-mail form
3:45 am
sprite
but you know... may sound stupid for a women of almost 47, but I DO miss parents. Not my parents. Just... parents.
3:45 am
rubyfoo
the repairman who came said it was just in the knobs but when we changed over the outside tanks, the smell stopped
3:46 am
sprite
aw ok, so it was really a dangerous situation!
3:46 am
rubyfoo
sprite, Burt is 87 and misses ever having had a decent relationship with his parents. He is filled with regrets about that
3:46 am
puglet
Its nice to see you in such high spririts Ruby! I can almost see you dancing in the sunshine--lol
3:47 am
rubyfoo
lol, pu! I miss my mother ever day (and I'm 70), but she was my best friend, so that's different
3:47 am
sprite
I can relate, ruby, I really can. And I think, him being so old, he is turning towards his past more and more anyway... which brings up the pain again... and makes him focus in more... it is an endless spiral downwards for him, I am afraid.
3:47 am
puglet
I miss mine as well and my grandmother too--My mom died of cancer at the age of 50
3:47 am
sprite
would you mind sending me the recipe, ruby? I'd love to try it out!
3:48 am
rubyfoo
exactly, sprite. I try to get him to accept his past, all the "AA" steps and the St. Francis prayer, but he can't let go
3:49 am
rubyfoo
{{pug}} that is waaaay too young. My mother lived to be about 84 and my dad to 93, so I have been very lucky
3:49 am
sprite
he would need a lot of love and support for that, ruby, and huge amounts of warmth.
3:49 am
rubyfoo
"done" sprite, as soon as I take a break from seeing you two
3:49 am
sprite
awesome, thanks ruby! :)
3:49 am
rubyfoo
the problem is that I am a pretty cold fish and too impatient, as you noticed when you were here, sprite.
3:50 am
puglet
My hubby has been dried for about 10 years now(with a mess up last year)
3:50 am
rubyfoo
the recipe looks complicated and the quantities are imprecise, so if you just try to "balance" the ingredients visually, it should work
3:50 am
sprite
ruby, sweetie, you didn't strike me as cold at all. But you and Burt have developed a relationship in which it would be really hard to be loving and warm as much as he would need.
3:51 am
rubyfoo
true, but sad
3:51 am
sprite
ouch about the mess up, puglet... that must have been hard. Wtg for him though on being dry.
3:52 am
sprite
and it goes both ways, ruby... you don't get what you need either. Which is just as sad.
3:52 am
puglet
its been a rough battle through out the years thats for sure--but I got strength
3:52 am
rubyfoo
as sprite knows, pug, we drink around here but not to excess (although I was sorely tempted by the Genevre!!!)
3:53 am
sprite
you have a loving heart, puglet... I think that is your strength :)
3:53 am
puglet
are you two close enough for visiting
3:53 am
sprite
no, not to excess at all, ruby, you just know how to enjoy good stuff!
3:53 am
rubyfoo
I can hear your strength, little pug, when you write about Grayden
3:53 am
sprite
yes we are, puglet. It is about 12 hours by train
3:53 am
rubyfoo
it was a long, very hard, trip for sprite. She is very brave
3:53 am
puglet
thats really nice!
3:54 am
sprite
it was worth it. I would do it over right away if I had the money, I swear.
3:54 am
rubyfoo
I have gottn more and more fearful about cities and airports and even train stations, so travelling is hard for me
3:54 am
rubyfoo
{{sprite}}
3:54 am
puglet
I have to admit Iam a red head and after so much I got a pretty good temper when pushed so far--lol
3:55 am
rubyfoo
when I fly (very rarely now) I use wheelchairs in the airports
3:55 am
sprite
yesssss yay for redheads! A bit of temper is a good thing.
3:55 am
sprite
that is so wise, ruby. It makes traveling more doable.
3:55 am
rubyfoo
<-- loves redheads. Many of my closest friends, throughout my life, have had red hair!
3:56 am
sprite
I used to be chestnut. But nowadays I am very dark with lots and lots of gray.
3:56 am
rubyfoo
red hair is very special. We are friends with an Irish family who keep a house on our road for coming to ki in the winter and their younger daughter, a beautiful, green-eyed redhead, dyes her hair black!
3:57 am
rubyfoo
pug sprite has beautiful, shiny, long hair
3:57 am
rubyfoo
ski* in winter
3:57 am
rubyfoo
her hair sparkles in the sun
3:57 am
sprite
arrrrggghh, that is criminal. She will grow over that.
3:57 am
puglet
I bet you both are lovely young women inside and out
3:58 am
rubyfoo
she went through a goth period
3:58 am
sprite
I am fat and not pretty, but a good person at heart, grin. Ruby is small, sl4 and pretty and vivacious.
3:58 am
rubyfoo
I hit my "looks" peak at about 45, puglet, now I'm a little chicken old lady, wrinkled and with greyish hair
3:59 am
puglet
I had long hair all my life and decided about five years ago to go short and dont regret it one bit, I love it
3:59 am
rubyfoo
is your hair curly or straight?
3:59 am
puglet
natural curly
4:00 am
sprite
I can imagine, puglet. I am the other way around. My hair never really wanted to grow long and I yearned for long hair. Then, after my pregnancies, all of a sudden my hair grew like mad and now I have long hair.
4:00 am
sprite
oh I envy you! Must be awesome to have natural curls.
4:01 am
puglet
its nicer with the short hair. My long hair was so thick! Now that Iam older its thinned out alot
4:01 am
rubyfoo
before I got sick at 47 and lost all of it (even eyebrows), my hair was dark brown, curly and very easy. It always looked great and I could cut it myself. After it came back, it was much finer and very !!!thin. But, hey, it's 23 years later and I'm still alive
4:02 am
sprite
and I am very happy you are, ruby :D
4:02 am
puglet
Me too Ruby!
4:02 am

{{sprite}}
4:03 am
puglet
Iam very glad to have you and Sprite as friends
4:03 am

and we are delighted to have you(arrogantly speaking for sprite)
4:03 am
sprite
and vice versa, puglet. You are great people to know.
4:04 am
sprite
hehehe, great minds, ruby
4:04 am
puglet
ahh thanks--I would love to travel by train--it must be exciting to do so
4:05 am
rubyfoo
when I was working and travelling a lot, I thought nothing of flying from Miami to Dallas to have dinner with a friend
4:05 am
rubyfoo
and European trains are wonderful
4:05 am
sprite
it was. I had invested in first class tickets, knowing that it would be a tough journey anyway. And it was worth it. Delightful to feel the freedom of traveling again!
4:06 am
puglet
did you two meet through here
4:07 am
rubyfoo
yes, but when an affinity develops, it is there and real
4:07 am
sprite
yes, we did! And we had never met before when I went to visit. People thought we were mad. But it worked out beautifully, didn't it, ruby.
4:07 am
sprite
I'd say this was more of an entry, mcurl
4:08 am
mcurlschool
sorry folks, tired.....just flew from seattle to palm springs and drove in to yuma!
4:08 am
rubyfoo
yes it did! The only one who disapproved was my hard as*** son
4:08 am
sprite
hehehe, he probably thought I would make off with the silver cutlery
4:08 am
puglet
not to change the subject--want to share with you--My little pug is asleep in front of her fan with all four feet up in the air
4:08 am
rubyfoo
mcurl. do you know the Yuma joke? If you e-mail me, I'll send it
4:09 am

np mcurl, welcome home (or wherever you were going) and enjoy :)
4:09 am

I hope you will have a lovely time, mcurl, and that you will find some time and relaxation for yourself as well.
4:11 am
puglet
that is a great story Ruby and Sprite! Im glad you found each other. Nothing worth more then good trusting friends
4:11 am
mcurlschool
plan on it. Today (rather yesterday) was the last day of our school year so I'm "off work" until August! It will be too hot to do much more than relax.
4:11 am

we'll have to see if your son will let me come visit again, ruby ;)

4:35 am
zoozzoom
hahaha..you are hopeful..i would say more like 2000 hours worth i would need lol
4:36 am
rubyfoo
what you have to do is stand still until you feel the beat, then move very little until the music takes over
4:36 am
rubyfoo
and then, just shift the weight from one foot to the other
4:37 am
zoozzoom
Thats what i do..then i look like a drunk pink panther dancing..it is soo comical.
4:37 am

4:48 am
A*n*i*t*a
round and round! lol
4:48 am
grannyrose
aww, crossy, sounds too good, mate
4:50 am
crosshair
yup:)) life is not bad in the great white north atm
4:52 am
grannyrose
you know? no more complaining from me, gave myself a mental shake today. i just have to get back on the horse. having said that i now have an appointment with surgeon ne4 wednesday.
4:53 am
crosshair
oh,your knee? getting it looked at,see how it is coming along?
4:54 am
grannyrose
yes, crossy. i fell 3 weeks ago, at work. went fully down on THE knee.
4:55 am
crosshair
ouch,yes,i remember you telling us.someone had washed the floor in your work area and did not put up caution signage
4:56 am
grannyrose
now the swelling and bruising have gone, i find that when i walk the prosthesis goes clunk. i actually became nauseated today, just from the clunking.
4:56 am
crosshair
good lord:((
4:57 am
crosshair
thinking they may have to go back in?
4:57 am
grannyrose
not much pain, except at night, when it aches so. during the day it stabs me, just under the kneecap.
4:58 am
grannyrose
*sigh* and i wasn't going to complain. yes, crossy. looks like an anterior crucia ligament. i am hoping i have only stretched it, and not ruptured it.
5:03 am
crosshair
testing
5:03 am
crosshair
mm,i am getting red boxes of doom
5:05 am
crosshair
what i was going to say rose,is as a medical professional,not only do you usually know what the issue is before you even see the DR,the real problem is you can think of tons of other horrors that would not even cross the minds of the rest of us;(
5:08 am
grannyrose
lol, thanx crossy, you are so right. i work with my surgeon, and he went a sort of sickly yellow colour when i told him what happened.
5:09 am
crosshair
lol.he could probably almost feel him itself
5:13 am
grannyrose
ah, well. what can you do? it happens...i was really fortunate as his receptionists both know me quite well and they have squished me into his busy day. anyone else would probably have had to wa4 another 4 weeks.
5:13 am
grannyrose
sometimes it's not what you know, but who you know. right?
5:18 am
crosshair
it is indeed
5:20 am
crosshair
our system is pretty good here and usually the mrs and i do not wait for much of anything,the exception being obgyn,s.we are in an area that has exactly two obgyn,s to serve 5 towns,two over them with populations tween 20 and 35 thousand
5:20 am
crosshair
so todays appt we have been waiting 6 months for
5:22 am
grannyrose
good grief, crossy
5:23 am
crosshair
one is so unreplaceable,our local hospital pulled her out of her own private medical centre and she actually has an entire wing of the hospital to herself complete with 2 washrooms and 3 exam rooms
5:25 am
crosshair
her front desk team fills them up and she just goes from one room to the other via interconnecting doors in order of set up.just round and round and round
5:26 am
grannyrose
unbelievable. she must be an incredible doctor. and young??
5:27 am
crosshair
she is just into her mid 40,s
5:28 am
crosshair
been at it for many years,must of really flew through school and set up in her mid 20s.i remember her when mrs and i used to go see her.boys she was sure easy on the eyes;))
5:28 am
crosshair
still is
5:29 am
crosshair
she had a locum working with her last 2 years and they must of convinced her to stay ,so now we have 2 so things should ease a bit
5:30 am
grannyrose
lol, crossy!!! naughty boy!!
5:30 am
crosshair
in last 20 years,our town size has doubled,so that is to be expected
5:34 am
crosshair
same with our resident bone dr.you got an appt fast enough,but waiting room times used to be evil,but now we have a pair of those as well
5:37 am
grannyrose
*giggle*have just meandered all over the house looking for my favourite cardigan. DH who did the vacuuming today said ' that's right, something bid did get sucked up by the vacuum cleaner today "
5:38 am
crosshair
hehe.we have three cats,so every time i vacuum,i have to tear down the filter system and remove giant hair balls
5:38 am
grannyrose
yeah, crossy, waiting room times are evil, no matter where you are.
5:38 am
grannyrose
better in the filter system, than in your cats, mate
5:39 am
crosshair
5 years ago,the average wait time for the bone Dr was 5!! hours..and no,even if you did live in town,you could not go home and have them call you.you were signed in,and there you sat
5:40 am
crosshair
along with about 50 others
5:40 am
grannyrose
yeah...ditto here. if i am at work, i am expected to sit there, in my scrubs, and wa4.
5:42 am
crosshair
well,at least you are getting paid.when we made an appt with him we had to take the entire day off for what turns out to be about 5 minutes of face time with the great man himself
5:42 am
crosshair
though he did do a good job hacking away the bone spur i had in my ankle
5:45 am
crosshair
yaaa! just found the x!! good monkeys!! xe 5/20
5:46 am
grannyrose
lol, yeah. i often feel i am rushed through doctor's appointments. that's why i always wr5 everything down before my appointment.
5:46 am
grannyrose

6:09 am

6:10 am
Andree
rose, i will let you know if i get a reply, i suggested we meet if she needed a shoulder
6:11 am
crosshair
the w,s are funny once you get past ten of them you think "oh,lord,i am in for it now" but it seems that every 5 or tem minutes one seems to stand up and say "i am over here you dummy"

Good day to all.

6:12 am
Scrabbler
Another rainy day here. We have had a very rainy spring here. :-(
6:12 am
crosshair
scrabby! i have told you before how to rabbit proof your wiring
6:13 am
grannyrose
for goodness sake!!! scrabs....hello
6:14 am
crosshair
you go the a auto supply store and ask for however many feet of 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inch wire harness tubing that you need.it slips right around whatever wires you want to protect and the stuff is like 20 cents a foot
6:14 am
Scrabbler
That bunny made his move in a second just as I plugged in my phone and just before I lifted the cord out of his reach. Grrr.
6:14 am
grannyrose
oops1 nearly 9:30pm here. better eat something. lol. i finally have an appetite.
6:15 am
Scrabbler
I have used aquarium tubing in some places of my house.
6:15 am
crosshair
bad bunny
6:15 am
Scrabbler
I will look for that stuff, Crossy. TY.
6:15 am
Scrabbler
I have also used plastic tubing that is used for computer cables.
6:16 am
crosshair
stuff has a slit for the entire length on one side of the tubing.you lat it out,measure and cut the length you need,slide the wires in and put a bit of tape every 3 feet or so and yer done
6:17 am
Scrabbler
I must do that because I purchased yet another floor lamp for my bedroom.
6:17 am
crosshair
yup.would be good for lamp cable
6:18 am
Andree
do they chew the cable scrabbler
6:18 am
crosshair
stuff is so cheap you can keep 30 feet of the stuff coiled up in the closet and when you do you weekly check for break in attempts you can just rplace as needed
6:19 am
Scrabbler
They chew anything and everything even when "chew toys" are available.
6:19 am
Sam
I once had a house rabbit that ate phone wires. I simply taped the wires to the wall so they weren't laying across Harvey's path, so he didn't treat them as vines across his rabbit run.
6:19 am
crosshair
that would be the good thing about living overseas.with the 240v they use,the darn cats/rabbits would only chew it once:)
6:19 am
Scrabbler
Mostly my house is very well bunny-proofed
6:21 am
crosshair
though i never hear of uk/euros talking about it.maybe the critters sense the high voltage:)
6:23 am
Andree
we have 240volts here, i cant say i have heard of any pets being electrocuted
6:24 am

6:59 am

Every place has AC, but still. And, there's no humidity. When it gets hot here, it's always humid. Ugh
6:59 am
zoozzoom
Hope the day goes well, Teach.
7:00 am
zoozzoom
Yes humidity is the energy drainer.
7:00 am

we have high humidity here as well to we are lucky it rarely gets over 30-35 c
7:00 am

You should see a Bichon on a humid day.
7:00 am

Must refuel brain cells

Sounds like fun, Teach..i would have more fun than the kids..lol
7:02 am

for example,here the humidity is always over 50% because of our location add heat and it becomes a sauna.my brother is just outside of las vegas and he tells me the humidity hovers around 4% lol
7:02 am
zoozzoom
Enjoy what ever you are going to feed your brain cells with, Bichon.
7:02 am

He must need plenty of sun protection i take it.
7:03 am

4% humidity and temps of over 100f most of the summer.i tease him and tell him he can make beef jerky just by clipping a few roasts of the clothes line for a day or 2
7:03 am

7:04 am

110-115 kills there.they lost a boy scout troup leader who wandered off the paths the other day and 4 of the kids were hospitalized
7:04 am
crosshair
lord knows why they planned an outing in that heat
7:05 am
zoozzoom
That does not sound good...why on earth did he wander off the path..being a scout you would of thought he knew better.
7:06 am

took half a day to find him,then it was too late as he had some other sort of underlying medical condition

Morning all. Yep, crossy, it's only 5:30 here and already 88 degrees. Stifling. Every year we have people that are hurt or die due to exposure to the heat. I just don't understand WHY they go out there for recreation this time of year....makes no sense.

Where do you live, Judy?
9:28 am

They are all within a 6 - 8 hours drive from us. I think it's because hubby and I are both the youngest in our respective families. We are the ones "expected" to make the trek to visit others.

2:34 pm

All I gleaned is that it lowers the cost of the testing. Here is a blurb with where to find more information.
Individuals interested in learning more about either the BRCA1 or BRCA2 tests should ask their doctors for more information. They and their health care providers can also visit the company's website, www.dnatraits.com, or call (713) 868-1438 for more information.

Would be nice just to get a week or two of really hot weather here..it is never that warm.
8:43 pm

hey zoom! come visit in August. It gets up to around 90 on a regular basis then... and where we are it's rarely humid enough to notice.
8:44 pm

Sounds wonderful, Stidmama..all that sun!
8:45 pm

yep. We have sun most days July through September. the rest... *sigh* usually variable between gray and rainy with occasional dazzling bright days.

hahahaha thats not a bad idea teehee.
8:51 pm

:-) I am trying to decide on interior colors for when the house is rebuilt, and think I will use only colors that are bright and warm when it's a gray, cool day. Try to trick myself into thinking it's spring year-round...
8:52 pm
zoozzoom
I have lemon yellow in my kitchen area..might sound a bit naff..but it really brightens and looks fresh in there.
8:53 pm
stidmama
oh, that is actually close to one of the colors I was thinking for our kitchen. I think it's nice to have a bright, airy space for cooking.
8:54 pm

You need to write your cake mix expiration date on your zip lock bag too. : )

Also, it you want to make it really good, stir in some chocolate chips, nuts, peanut butter chips or whatever you think would make a good addition. Chopped apple is good if you have opted for a spice cake mix.

I love how she refers to dolphins as sentient beings. There is so much evidence that makes me believe that.
9:48 pm
Lizlin
I agree - whales too.
9:48 pm
Lizlin
Well, I guess dolphins are actually whales.
9:48 pm
uusue2
they're related but not the same - and I agree about the sentience
9:48 pm

I sometimes wonder if most of the people walking around on dry land are sentient beings.

9:53 pm

It's great - I'm so lucky. I do know that. And then to go out whale watching from June til Sept / Oct is amazing. The company invented a season ticket for us!

Nice to have the kiddo home at last, no doubt!?
11:52 pm
stidmama
Yes, I am so very pleased he had a good time.
11:52 pm
stidmama
I hope the new place he is living will work out for him. :-)
11:52 pm
Cathyar
Is he happy with it?
11:53 pm
stidmama
Tom and he went out and moved things away from the outside of the house today, I will go with Tom tomorrow for one last push for the inside (there are a few things I still haven't been able to find); and then I will stop going inside, and just wait for a huge empty space to appear in the yard. I have an awful lot of actual gardening to attend to.
11:54 pm
stidmama
I think he is happy with the new place, yes. It's a room in a man's house, and the man is so like one of my sets of grandparents that it is going to feel quite comfortable, I think.
11:56 pm
Cathyar
Well, that's a good start then! Certainly, once he is settled it will all come together for him and you'll be able to rest easy. I can't imagine how I'll feel when the day comes my boy moves out.
11:57 pm
stidmama
It's a bittersweet time, for sure. Of course, Grant is still at home, but at his age he comes and goes mostly as he pleases.
11:58 pm
stidmama
By the time the house is complete, he will be very close to graduating from high school; an not long after that I imagine he'll get a job and get his own place.
