Another ‘Grand’ Day

Summer Fridays are among my favorite days. Two of our three grandchildren have spent most Fridays with us this summer. We eat lunch and watch movies. Sometimes the movie is at Saint Micheal Cinema and other times we watch movies at our house.

This morning we picked up Caleb and Charlotte, did our errands to get supplies for movie watching (popcorn from the cinema [$1 for a full bucket], slushies  plus a choice of candy for Charlotte at the Holiday Gas Station, and a final stop at McDonalds for Happy Meals) and then to our house to watch “The Electric State.”

Around 4:00pm we took the grands home and visited with the youngest grandchild - seven month old Oliver. While we played on the floor in the living room, Caleb and Charlotte showed Oliver what a pillow fight was all about. Pan and Sylvie, the grandpups, got into the action by licking (dog kisses) all of us.

Meanwhile, Megan was in another part of the house. When we got ready to leave I found her in the kitchen. She told me she had a headache and that we were a noisy bunch. She left out the ‘joyous’ part of the sentence as we were most definitely ‘joyous in our noisiness.’

Joe and I finished up our day with a trip to Costco, putting groceries away, and spending quiet time in our respective office spaces. I listened to podcasts while Joe watched YouTube videos. We were ‘joyous in our space.’
