LOVIN' LEWISVILLE !!

After Education Week was over, Chuck and I drove up to Idaho to visit Rachel, Nate and the kiddos.  Chuck had not seen their new house and I was missing the grandkids big time.

We had a really fun week. Chuck brought his road bike on our trip, so between exploring the countryside by bike, helping Nate with his home improvement projects and playing with the grandkids, he was able to keep himself entertained.

When our children were small Chuck often give them rides around our yard in the wheel barrow.  He and I continued that tradition with Evelyn and Douglas.


I, on the other hand got to do all the things I love to do: play with the grandkids, garden, play with the grandkids, go hunting through thrift stores and estate sales, play with the grandkids, go looking at houses and property for sale and go to the lake and paddle board. I even scraped and sanded the railings on Rachel's front porch and then painted it with her and Evelyn's help.






 Every day I also got to play with the two new kitties they got as barn cats to keep the rodent population down on their three acres. One is a very young mama cat, and the other is her 3 month old kitten. They are both pretty friendly for barn cats and will come out to play when ever they see people. And Surprise!! The mama cat was already pregnant with another litter when Rachel got her, so they will have more kittens in about a month.

It was hard to leave Idaho behind, but I am always happy to get home and sleep in my own bed.
