A week with Joe and Sam

What a fantastic week we had with our two oldest grandsons. They are really young men now. They were very concerned about making sure Grandma did not do too much after bout with illness. They wanted to help us both with anything we would let them do. Too bad the mosquitoes were so bad because we would have loved to get some painting done with two such willing helpers.
We did go to Target a couple of times. This was always a reason for a soda or Starbucks. There was time spent wondering around the mall. Sam spent quite a bit of time with his skateboard and we did take a few bike rides(Grandma is back on her game).

I let Joe practice his driving here in town and we also drove up to the cemetery where he could drive in big circles. The last day I let him go a mile on the blacktop. He is a pretty good driver so far.

I had just cleaned our basement and came across a lot of old 33 RPM records. We spent some time listening to music from the Beatles and Peter, Paul and Mary. Amazing how much they seemed to enjoy that. We watched the movie "Pink Panther 2" the last night while we ate popcorn and M&M's.
It was a great summer of family time and this was a great note to end it on. We have been blessed with a wonderful family.
