Close Knit
Hubby and I had an R&R day today. It’s my last Monday off in my end-of-the-fiscal-year catch-up on days off so we decided to take a run to Homer - at the end of the road.
Our family - two daughters - 7 grandchildren - 2 sons-in-law . . . is pretty close. Sometimes we are closer than other times, but that is normal for any family.
One of the things that we love to do is take one grandchild each week for a shopping trip/lunch trip/time to be with us trip. It is usually just to a restaurant (of the child’s choice), then to the local grocery for our weekly stock up.
This week, rather than that same old- same old, we decided to invite D to accompany us on our trip to Homer. He will also spend the night tonight. We have taken each of the grands except the youngest two on such trips - but he has never been able to come along. It was his time - his turn - and . . .
we all had a blast!
The weather was great - lots of sun - not too hot (although here in Kenai the temps soared into the low 70s making Kenai the state’s hot spot for the weather day). There was some ocean breeze, but not enough to keep us in the car when we got to the end of the road. We spent quite a bit of time sitting on a drift log watching a line of fishermen and women catching small flounder right off the beach.
We ate at Fat Olives - that boy ate all but one piece of his 12 inch pizza! (He ate that piece when we got home this evening!)
He is currently watching tv with his grandpa and I’m here to tell you how blessed I am. I trust you all have such “knitting” in your life as well.
