Elijah and Olivia visit Houston

First day with the grandkids has come to a close for them at least. Elijah (10) and Olivia (7) arrived today about noon. We spent some time at the airport cause the airline put their bags on the wrong carousel. By the time we found the luggage and got the car, we were all hungry. We went to the Potato Patch also known as the “Throwd Rolls” restaurant. They throw hot rolls and hot muffins at

you the entire time you are there if you want them and they give you all the okra and fried green tomatoes you can eat. Elijah missed his first roll but not the next 2 and he never missed any of the muffins. So by the time our food came we loaded it into take home containers for dinner. We got home at 3P and Robert took the grandkids swimming at the Sowers’ home. They have a great pool with waterfall and slide. I stayed home cause I had a massage. They had great fun swimming and arrived home just as I was finishing up my client. So we warmed up the left over lunch, ate and headed off shopping. We are going to the beach at Galveston for a couple of days and we needed some snacks, juice boxes and water. As we went through the store the grandkids saw other things they “needed”. At the checkout, Robert looked at me like I had lost my mind when the cashier said almost $200. But we have what we need for our excursion. We headed home, had Blue Bell ice-cream, brushed teeth and Robert told them a bedtime story. All is quiet. Grandkids are the best little humans God ever gives us. I am exhausted and happy so night all.
