Fun-Fest Chick Weekend

We are home from our weekend in Cedar. My grandma is doing better than the last time I saw her a couple of weeks ago. That made me happy. She spent most of our visiting time in her bed but we had fun. We talked and laughed about all kinds of things. She is a funny lady.

She asked me who was taking care of my dogs. I told her that Gage was taking care of Jake and that Petie was staying at my mom's house. My mom loves to have him there. When I picked him up tonight, he was so happy to see me. It was fun. She said that he was a really good boy for her. My brother said he liked having him there, too. I asked my mom's husband, Curt, if Petie was good for him. Curt said that he just kept an eye on him and tried to stay out of his way. Last time Petie stayed with them, Petie stole Curt's sandwich and in the process of stealing it, he caught Curt's finger along with the sandwich. They wrestled around and I guess Curt finally won the sandwich.  After all of that the last time, I was not sure if Curt would let Petie be over there again. I was happy when my mom said that he could stay and then that he was such a good boy for her. She said that he laid by her a lot and then even sometimes laid on her. She said he was sweet.

I sure do love seeing my grandma and my Aunt Rae. They are so sweet and I am so lucky. Randilyn went to the store with Aunt Rae. It was so helpful for my aunt. They shopped like maniacs. I could not believe it when they got back and had the whole trunk and part of the backseat filled up with groceries. Randilyn saved the day. My aunt really needed to stock up on stuff and she could not have done it without Randilyn. I was proud of her. 

I was proud of her during the whole trip. She was a pleasure to be with. It was really nice. It was a big difference from the Randilyn of the past. There was no drama and no weirdness. It was great. She seems to have really grown up a lot in the last little while.

When we got home I took a look at my seeds and was totally surprised that I already had some sprouts. I can't believe it. I just planted them a couple of days ago. I think my garden is going to do really well this year. I need to do some research and see if I am supposed to water the seeds while they are sprouting or if they just use the water that is already soaked into the soil. I worry about it because that is where I went wrong last year. Joelynn and I talked about it and we are going to have a truck load of dirt and bark chips delivered soon. I'll need to get it ordered. I want to get some railroad ties delivered too. That is what I want to use for the garden. Then we will line it with pond liner and fill it with dirt. I am going to make little water trails that I can fill with water to make sure that I just do a little water at a time. 

Joelynn is really sick with the flu. She spent most of the weekend in bed. She is in bed right now. She had to cancel her trip to Colorado Springs in the morning. She is going to LA on Tuesday and then Colorado Springs on Thursday. She has bee traveling and working so much. She has not had any rest on the weekends, either, because I drag her all over on trips. I have promised her that we will stay in town for at least the next couple of weekends so she can get better. I feel bad that she is so sick. She is hardly ever sick so when she does get sick - she is really sick. I will nurse her back to health and she'll be good as new. Hopefully soon!
