Home and Away

So...........here is the person I discovered in my kitchen...........it's Auntie Muffy!

She is staying until Sunday - which is tomorrow already!  Wow!  Time flies by so quickly.

We had already decided that we would go to visit Granny so I could inspect the work that Poppa and Gramps did there, so we left Auntie Muffy at our house to relax, and off we went. We arrived safely after a few delays on the way, due to road work being done.  The next day Poppa and Gramps went golfing while Granny and I went out for breakfast.

Granny has quite a busy schedule each day.  She is up with the sun (or earlier) and off to Uncle Sean's house (where it was pouring rain when we arrived)...

.... to help with the task of getting three little people ready for the day.  There is, of course, Cousin Tristin - she's nine now - hard to believe!

Tristin is quiet in the morning and keeps to herself, but by the time we picked her up in the afternoon she was bouncy, fun and an interesting mix of nine-year-old and young lady.  And, she is certainly caring with her two younger siblings!  The first of which is Trent - my father would have called him a little scalliwag!  He is so full of fun and mischief, but can turn into a serious young man when he is using his DS1 or building complicated Lego structures.  Here he is showing Poppa how the DS1 works.

And then there is little Trinity.  She is a bundle of energy just looking for a place to expend it.....

 and someone to play with her while she burns it off.  We played "come and catch me Nanna" until I was hot and weary - and she still wanted more!  But, since I was too worn out, we worked on puzzles instead.

Squeegie and Taffy spent some time with their cousin - Squeegie said his name was Travis - but I'm not sure if he had it right.

Our last morning there, we met Uncle Kevin and Auntie Chris for breakfast.  The food was good and matched the company.

Of course, Granny and Gramps were there too!

Thank you to Granny and Gramps for a nice mini-vacation for Poppa and myself!
