Hi Adele,
It is fun to watch these little ones grow up. They learn so much from the time that they are born until they are 5 or 6. It just amazes me to watch them. They learn to walk, talk, eat and all the other little things that they learn. They catch on so fast.
I have never heard of the Hess stuffie cement mixers. They sound really cute. I got Aliza and Grayson a bunny that sings and it is holding a flower pot and the flower sing and go up and down to the music. I also got them both a book. I will put Grayson’s in his wagon and I will give that decorative wagon to Aliza. She can put things in it. I should get him some blocks to put in it but do not know if I can find any.
I did not think that you would get fever and chills. I hope that she is feeling better now. I do not get my second shot until April 16th. I will be glad to get this over with.
You have really had your share of sick people lately. Colds and allergies are really going around. My allergies have been acting up. They do about the same time every year. That would make a person cranky having a cold and recovering from kidney trouble.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great day and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
I am glad that Gary is home. As sick as he was it probably took a lot of his energy. He will rest a lot for awhile but he will be up again and into all kinds of things again. He will be doing things that he shouldn’t.
We have been getting a lot of rain here. It was nice that we had sunshine today. Ron wants to start tilling the garden but the ground is too wet. He will get the garden started and then he will start redoing the deck.
There is not a whole lot going on here. It is really getting boring. I am hoping to see Grayson this week. I have not seen him in awhile and miss him. He is at the age where he changes so much in just a short time. He is trying to talk a lot more now. He can repeat somethings that you say but I guess that is all people talk to him. He is always around adults.
Wow that is really cool that JJ is going into an advance math class. He is a really smart young man. I am terrible with math and am so surprised if any of ours grands do well in math. It does seem like boys do better in math then girls. I have no idea why that is but that is really true in our family.
That was a good idea to put Bobby on the loan. It will take a lot of the worry off of him. How is Tillie doing? You have not said much about her lately. I hope that she comes upstairs now and spends more time with the family.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
My shot went well. My arm has been sore but not to bad. It is better today and am glad that it is over with. I get my second shot in April. That is a good picture of you and Greg. They did not give me a sticker like you when you had your shot. They just gave me a card to carry in my purse and I have to take it back when I get the second shot.
I missed the shows on QVC for Ireland. I cannot believe that I missed them. I did see some of the items they had on the internet but did not buy anything. Did you see anything that you wanted? They do not have any new things that I saw.
That will be so nice that you will get to be with Jenny for her birthday. You will be able to kiss her and be with her for the day. It will be nice to be with the kids also. They will be so happy to see you and Greg. Maybe Greg will do his dance for them.
I went to kindergarten and we did take naps. It was only half a day which was nice. You did not have to spend all your time at school. I am not sure pushing these kids this hard is the best thing. They are not taking to be kids.
I did not hear that he may have covid. I don’t know why I just have a feeling that he will turn out to be one of the masked singers. It would be a good joke on everyone. I do hope that he comes back.
Well that is about all from her. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
I was glad the masked singer is back on again. The costumes were really good. I really do think that Nick is going to show up as one of the masked singers. I really do think that he is one of the singers. That would be funny if he was. Not many people would think of him doing that. I agree that woman is not as good as Nick.
I was glad to see that you are posting memes again. I was missing them. I imagine that you are having trouble finding new ones. You have posted a lot of them.
Good for Lachlan. He sounds like he is really a smart boy. I hope he continues to do well. The kids can do so much more now then we could at their age. We did not take half the subjects that they take now.
We did not celebrate St. Patrick’s day this year. It just seemed like no one was in the mood. So next year we will probably celebrate again. I do not think that any of the kids fixed corn beef and cabbage at home either. Did you do anything?
Well that is about all from here. Have a great day. Stay safe.

Hi Adele,
How is Gary doing? Is he home yet? I hope that he is home and doing well. I know it is rough when our guys are in the hospital and we are alone. It really makes you think.
Melissa is happy back in Tennessee. I guess that she wanted to go back to because the of her job. The woman sh worked for kept calling her talking to her about coming back. I just pray she made the right decision.
We gave all our grands a wagon. They always loved playing with them. They are cute when they pull them around while hunting eggs. We will see how Grayson does with one. I bet Santino would really like it also.
Well that is all from here. Have a great day and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
Ron will have to pull him around I am sure of that. He will do what ever he can to make that little guy smile. He does have his grandpa wrapped around his little finger. It is a contest between him and Aliza.
I do like the fact that they have those sides on trampolines now. It is hard to find people to spot when the kids are jumping. I do not think parents have the time to stand out there with the way their schedules are now days.
Melissa went back to her job before they moved to Knoxville. She works for a cleaning service. She has her old job back as a supervisor. The owner and her are friends. She had Melissa doing interviews and background checks on applicants. So she was still working there after she moved. She just worked from the house. I think that she will clean some houses since she will be back. I just hope that she really likes it like she did before.
I get my first shot on Friday. They called me this morning to tell me. they are getting more of the medicine in our area now. It is about time.
I hope that Jenny likes her new job. It is nice that she will be able to work from home. It will be nice to stay at home in case the kids need you. It is a shame that moms cannot stay home with their kids like they use to when our kids were little.
Well that is all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi DD,
That is terrible about Antonella. I really liked her also. I will be praying for her. That is terrible that they had to sell their house. that just made thing even worse for her. I hope her husband finds another job soon and things will get a little better for them.
I am glad that Snowball is warming up to you and sitting on your lap and getting cozy. That is one thing about a cat that I love. They can be so lovable and the next minute they will hide.
That is about all we have had her is rain. It will be nice to see the sun again. I really hope that it will be nice here for Easter. We have had so many rainy days now. It seems like when the rain stopped the rain started.
Well that is all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Gail,
Grayson and Ron are good buddies. If Ron gets ice cream he shares it with him and that is all it took. We got him a red wagon for Easter will put a bunny in it and his book we got him. Then when he hunts eggs he can put them in the wagon.
Kaylee was jumping on the trampoline and did something to it. She said she is not sure how it happened. She was at her dad’s when it happened so no one saw her hurt it. They have moved back to Cookeville into their house now. I just hope Melissa did the right thing.
Owen also had a broken foot when he was younger. He has had the most broken bones. He is like his dad accident prone. Justine use to get hurt all the time.
Will you get to see your grands for Easter? Have you had your covid shot yet? They are supposed to call me this week to set mine up. I may get one on Monday. They will call and tell me that also.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.

Hi Adele,
This was your day for bad news. I cannot believe that all happened so close together. Sometimes it is better not to get out of bed. I could stay home pull the covers over my head and sleep all day.
Did you get to see Sonny today? I saw Grayson and he is walking all over the place. It looks so funny. He is so little when you watch him walk. He does pretty good but every once in awhile he will lose his balance and fall He falls a lot when he gets tired. Is Sonny walking? They are so cute when they start walking. Grayson can get into a lot more since he can walk. It really helps with his reaching things he is not supposed to.
We did not hear any news here today. So we must have been really lucky. I almost hate to answer the phone. It has been a long day today. Wish we could find some interesting things to do. It is getting boring around here. Melissa and the kids are here for a couple of days Kaylee fractured her foot and is wearing a brace and using crutches. She has to go back soon to see the doctor to let them check her foot. She was having a lot of pain last night but seems to be better today.
Well that is about all from here. Have a great night and stay safe.
