Wonderful Wednesday and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BILLIE!!

It was a beautiful day at Lake Waco today.100_3812

Leslie dropped off Camden at 9:00 this morning to play with us while she went to Emma’s field trip. While she was here, LaNae sent a message that she had just been in an earthquake in Norman, OK and was “officially freaked out.”  5.1 on the Ritchter scale is a pretty sizable shake, rattle and roll in QuakeDom.  The center of the quake was only a few miles from Aunt Bernice.  Thankfully, everyone is okay.

Soon, we were all on our way to the playground.100_3813

Camden could play and play and play.100_3825

And he did.100_3821

Poppa Doppey took his morning walk while Camden was climbing and sliding.100_3820

Then Poppa Doppey rested by the water.100_3824

Gentleman next door was lonely, so he came out to be Poppa Doppey’s friend for a while.  He asked, “Won’t they let you play with them?”

After two hours of climbing, sliding and throwing sand up in the air, we walked back to the Q where we played Yatzee (Camden loves numbers) with Poppa Doppey, ate two Amish Peanut Butter sandwiches (Camden ate two by himself), drank a glass of milk and I read “Joe Bob Has Something To Say” by Glenda Fisher, to Camden.  When we were reading it for the third time, Leslie came to pick up our big boy.  He is so all boy, almost always moving, moving, moving, but I loved it when he crawled up in my lap and said, “Nonni, you’re the best.”  Yep… I liked that pretty much.100_3831

Well, my afternoon was spent with a bottle of Nutrisse, followed by dealing with the shock of what I beheld in the mirror.  Finally, Khalil texted me wanting to know when we were coming for dinner and I told him I was waiting for it to get dark!  But we went to help Billie, Khalil’s mom, celebrate her birthday.  We had a great time around the table… talking, laughing, listening to our grandkids sing.  Loved it!100_3845

Everyone liked my hair, especially Leslie and Camden who said, “Wow!!” when we walked in.  I took the liberty of accepting that as a compliment.  It’s much more red than it looks in this picture; not what I planned.100_3847

Hi Lavon & Don,

Love the color, and I have to agree with Camden, "You are the best". Enjoy this time with your grandkids. They do grow and change over night. Love you and miss you, LoPo & NoPo
