Long Time

It has been a long, long time since I posted and I certainly don't want my adoring fans to forget me, so.....

Just had a wonderful weekend in Littleton with Joyce, Bill, Holly, David and the grandkids (way too many to spell out each name). We arrived late Friday so we would make it to the Camp Willow Run program Saturday morning. Hannah, Knox and Katy had been at camp. Well, one all week and two for most of the week. Knox and Katy caught what Hannah had and they were "expelled" for a day. Luckily Holly had not left and she was able to go get them around 1 a.m. on Monday morning. They were re-admitted Tuesday. Bad news.... Bill caught what they had.
Joyce has retired so I guess we will have to go back more often so she will have something to do. She certainly does enough when we go. Bill may not care to see us again.... sickness, kids asking "Bill.... Bill.... can we go tubing..?? Bill... .Bill... will you fix my fishing line? Bill.... Bill" You get the picture. He was the model uncle this weekend.
Sarah and crowd are going to Littleton this coming weekend, so maybe we all should go back.
After we left Sunday, Manchie and I went by Henderson to ride past our old house that we built when we lived there. The current owners were out in the driveway washing the car with daughter-in-law (daughter?) and grandkids watching. Knowing how we are, you guessed it, we stopped and talked. They took us on a tour of the house. Looked much better than when we lived in it.
Then we went to Mooresville and spent some time with Frank for Father's Day. He's as spry as ever. At 91, he even forgets to use his cane sometimes and doesn't seem to have a problem without it.

Thanks for the gift card.

One of your "adoring fans" here... :-) Yes, can't wait to be going to NC on Friday- wish you guys would be there. What would we do with that many kids in one house???? I get a kick out of reading Jonathan's blog and reading his humor- boy is he a chip off the old block!
