What Else.....

....... has been going on?  A couple of weeks ago ... yes, I'm still catching up.....

........ Granny and Gramps were vacationing at a resort near us.  They invited us out for dinner on Sunday evening.  Since that is the day we usually have Aunt Peggy at our house for dinner, we accepted the invitation ans asked if we could bring her with us.  Of course, Granny said certainly and out we went.  Supper was yummy (roast beef and all the fixings!) and Aunt Peggy enjoyed the outing.  Granny & Gramps were in the area for the week.  We all got together again a few times and while the boys were golfing, Granny and I visited the Chelsea Chocolate Store, where we bought a lot of wonderful chocolate treats.  We also visited another store nearby where we bought some slabs of homemade fudge!  The silly thing is, I didn't get any pictures - I was having too much fun!  Poppa has been keeping busy (did you think he would be taking some leisure time? LOL!).  He worked on our front doors....

... straightened up the front walkway.  The slabs had all separated and the weeds kept trying to grow between them and they were uneven and difficult for Aunt Peggy to navigate since she has very limited eye-sight.  In addition the step up to the front entrance was too high and Poppa had to almost lift her up it.  So he fixed all that and it is wonderful now!  Then - while he was working out there, he put som paving stones along the edge of the garage and ...

...... moved some plants to the other side.  Then - he removed some broken pieces of cement that had been piled at the end and carefully sprinkled some grass seed in the bare spot where they had been.  While he was working on all that, the bears had a bath and....

.... then hung around out on the patio to finish getting thoroughly dry.  When they were considered dry enough to come inside....
