It is almost hard to remember what all
of our activities were. One thing I must say right away. One of the granddaughters
commented at the beginning of their visit, “Iowa is so boring, why would anyone
live here?”
That does not insult me, but I am not
sure they understood my remarks in return, “Different people want different
things in life. I like not having so many people around and much grass and
trees.”
However, as the week progressed I did
not hear them talk about boredom. It seemed to me they were busy and engaged
almost all of the time. I know that I was. They left yesterday morning. Does
that mean there is no more excitement in my life?
Yesterday, I did put everything away
that I could, washed several loads of laundry, and took a short afternoon nap. For
some reason I kept waking in the nights and not able to return to sleep.
Leroy worked yesterday so his long,
much longer, afternoon nap is taking place today. He managed to get some naps
while they were here, but not as much as he would have liked.
We returned to the grocery store
several times during their stay. I find I do not have a clue about how much
food is needed for three more people. Each time the entire group went for added
input about appropriate purchases as they do not eat many of the same things
that Leroy and I will eat and enjoy.
In a later missive I will give some
details about our activities.
