Wonderful, Wonderful

So a set of my wonderful kids came to relax for the weekend---and spent the whole derned thing working!! The Daughter and Son-in-Law put up the new pool--mostly Jenny, I think, but she had great help. Then Tim put up the garage door that has been hopelessly broken for around 3 years--or so!!! He, then, worked on the other one until it needed a part that we had to order. Me? I stayed out of the way and played with the children; really big of me, wasn't it???? They worked their little fannies off--some rest it was for them, but I am so very grateful!! Next time when they come, they will PLAY!!

Made me think about getting old and needing more and more help. It was kind of scary really. This couple of weeks when The Dad has had surgery and I am in recovery, has made me think of the fact that we are older and may not be as strong as we have been. How long can we maintain our present living arrangements? Then I remember Mother who lived alone until she was in her 90's and did just fine. Hopefully, the Lord will let us know when we need to make other arrangements. I pay more attention to assisted living facilities now than I used to. I think I, for one, would enjoy the camaraderie of one of those places if I needed it....Hope it is a looooooooong time, though, cause I love this place a lot!!!

Have the greatest weekend ever!!!

you, for one, would do wonderfully at an assisted living place -- or retirement community, or whatever. The Dad? He would have to work very hard to enjoy it. Unless they had a very large library. :)
Anyway, the daughter finds it refreshing and relaxing to do thigns without the help of her children, so to her, your playing with them is work enough.
and I'm not just saying that. she told me so. emphatically.
