Yesterday, I was gone from home all day, spending time in activities with various members of my family. The first outing was to Grandparents Day at my granddaughter's high school. Grandpère could not go, as he was due at the boat museum at the same time. Last year, we made the grand tour of the entire school, so GD didn't think we needed that again, but she did want us to visit her art classroom and see the work she had done in class. While we were looking at her pictures, the art teacher came up and said, "Your granddaughter is a very talented artist." I said, "We know." Still, I was delighted to hear the art teacher affirm what we knew.
The picture is from our visit to the school last year. The photo from this year will be mailed to me.
Next up was a pleasant lunch at a local restaurant with my daughter-in-law and son to celebrate my DIL's birthday. I enjoyed spending time with them, catching up with what's going on in their lives and the life of their son, my grandson, who is at LSU. I have sworn off discussing politics with my son, except about matters upon which we agree, and I managed to keep my oath till the end of the lunch, which mercifully concluded before the discussion became too heated. I'll simply add that we all agree on certain matters political, which I will not detail here.
My next destination was my son's house to stay with my grandson until his older sister, my granddaughter in the top picture, came home from school and running errands. My GS is now a couple of years older than in the photo.
So. There it is - my family day - which is why I didn't blog yesterday. Busy, busy, busy.
