The boys had a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle that Papa got roped into helping with. Well, not really “roped in”..Dennis is obsessed with these puzzles! We have been known to take as many as 6 of them in our Hiker when camping..We even had a special cloth to put the puzzle on while assembling it.. That way, you could fold it up and put it away, and still use our RV table to eat on..Now THAT is ridiculous!! .It took 2 boys and one Papa 2 days to finish it..The boys are pretty darn good at puzzles on their own too!
They finished this one in no time…working together…This isn’t always the case!!!
Satuday we walked to the park in Zionsville. The weather was fabulous..60 degrees and sunny…and these kids were lovin’ it!
This park is on the Eagle River and is really pretty…There are 3 different playgrounds, a tennis court, and a couple ball parks there too!
These are great kids…cute too..but I might be just a tad prejudice…..Ya think???? They did some posing for Mimi (me)…
Actually, the photo above is more the “norm”…Saturday night the boys and “moi” put together an award winning stuffed crust pizza!!
We used string cheese to roll into the outer crust…WALLA!! That pizza was seriously awesome!!
We had a great time with the boys and their Mom and Dad got some much needed relaxation in Jamaica..”NO PROBLEM, MON!”
After we got back home, we had another great family day with the Heisers…Our youngest Heiser grandson is following in the thespian footsteps of his big sister and loves to be “on stage”. We attended his middle school play, “The Secret Case of Sherlock Holmes” on the following Sunday matinee. Campbell (nicknamed “Soupy” by his friends) is in 7th grade and the play involves 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. The setting was a mental hospital where most of the patients thought they were someone famous. One patient thought she was the Queen of England, one guys thought he was George Washington..and so on…Campbell’s character was named Henry Lee, but he thought he was Count Dracula…OMG..Campbell was the littlest, skinniest Dracula I have ever had to pleasure to encounter…Here are a few pics taken on stage..
He may have been small, but when he opened his mouth, his Dracula voice was a booming one!!And check out that slicked back “do”!!
He apparently forgot his coffin and used the floor…He cracked me
up!!!
Curtain Call!!! (Look at his skinny little legs!)..
After the play we had to get photos of the Count with all of us,
naturally!!
Grama and Papa were extremely proud of our grandson!!!
Group photo!!!!!
Soooo,now that I have bored you with more family stuff, I need to
say that Dennis and I are no longer upset at the fact that we won’t be going
anywhere this Winter..The fact is, we are so blessed to have our health and
family, we are actually getting ready for the holidays with anticipation at
being here…NOT, however, the shoveling part of being here..but it is what it is!
I even had to go buy a new Christmas tree, since we haven’t been home for quite
a few Christmases, our old tree went to Wolff Den about 6 years ago!!
This is our new and improved, slim and “trimmed” Christmas Tree.
I hope everyone had a very wonderful , peaceful and safe
Thanksgiving Day, filled with love and hugs and lots of good food!!!
“Blessed are those that can give without
remembering and receive without forgetting”…
