I'm heading back to Texas on Saturday for several weeks so I can take the granddaughters to swimming lessons for two weeks.

Yes, it can be exhausting, too, for even if we've raised several of our own, it has been a while, and we tend to fall out of practice, don't we? <br /><br />I enjoyed some similar time with my grands recently, and it was so great! <br /><br />I'm glad you had this time with the girls.

The Science Center had to be fascinating. Girl's going to the beauty shop, swimming, new glasses (who would have ever thought black frames would come back!), the vet's, and good food. Wow! Good they are coming now before they hit the teenage years where they want to spend all their time with their friends, right? LOL! Rest!!

I do know some identical twin girls that look exactly alike, but one had a genetic abnormality in her bladder, but the other one didn't. I find all this fascinating.<br /><br />But most of all, have a GREAT Fourth and I look forward to hearing more of your adventures. Going skydiving tomorrow, but you will be out of town. Next time, maybe! :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-38480849197426031302011-07-01T16:14:56.753-07:002011-07-01T16:14:56.753-07:00From your great list, I've learned that you ar...From your great list, I've learned that you are a very practical grandma who knows how to make sure the kids have a good time while also knowing there are some boundaries in place.

How lovely that you could spend time with your granddaughters when they still have a bit of childhood left. I had to laugh at the stalling at showering and brushing their teeth! How soon that will all change as they spend hours in the bathroom! I bet they'll remember their visit forever. To this day, I have very fond memories of visits to my Grandparents' farm and weekends with my Aunt Molly. These times may be meaningful to the girls in ways you'll never know.Dr. Kathy McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02903015507894951725noreply@blogger.com
