My Bad

Geeze Louise... I can't just be dumb in my own home; I have to go to California and almost kill my ONLY granddaughter.

Zoe was very sick when we arrived. Her fever was hot and furious. Danette (her mom)  was at work finishing grading some papers. I needed more tylenol-type medicine so I called D and she said she was coming right home and had some in her desk.

So I go to give it to Zoe and ask where it is. D says, "It's the purple bottle on the counter."

Great......(now mind you, both bottles were turned around and I didn't READ any labels. I just grabbed the closest and biggest bottle.)

Uh huh....I mader her take a teaspoon of bubble bath!

Here she is gurgling and spitting bubbles.

Luckily for me, she is one smart cookie and only swallowed a tiny bit because it tasted like soap!

Seriously, bubbles came out from between her teeth for a long time.

I may not be trusted to administer any type of first aid or "doctoring" any time soon.

Poor babe....stuck with me for her Gramie.

CA Visit

We had so much fun with our grandkids. Needless to say, I miss them terribly. Their laughter, their funny remarks and the energy that whirlwinds around them make me smile. Now, it's the memories of all that...(and FaceTime ;o))

Things are progressing as expected for Joseph. His immune system is in repair and slowly but surely building up to be able to protect him once again. He is an amazing man.

I find I want to scrub all the corners of my house now that I know how it feels when a house is clean from top to bottom. But wanting to do something and actually doing it are definitely two different things because I've been sewing instead of cleaning! (Imagine that!)

A trip to the Folsom Zoo made my heart sing. All our grandkids together, having fun.

The zoo is a refuge for animals saved from other wild life "preserves" and from other situations that put them in danger. Peacocks and chickens roam everywhere.

It was a super day under the California sunshine.

Now we are preparing for another trip to see Mom. She fell and broke her arm and hurt both shoulders and her face. She claims she joggled her brain but I told her that had been done prior to her falling! (just kidding, Mom).... Anyway, she is doing quite well and it's about time I get up there to see her.

"Gramie?" . . . "Yes, Kai?" . . .

"I think I might have fed the fish too much fish food." . . .

"We'll have fat fish tomorrow so Grampie can go fishing in the back yard!"
